MINOR

The bill was amended to correct the specific legal description of the bridge being dedicated, changing the location from a generic mile marker to the precise town of Babylon and the official bridge number. Additionally, the legislative history was updated to reflect that the committee has already discharged the bill and it has been amended.

Scope change

The scope of the dedication was refined by replacing a vague geographic reference with specific legal identifiers (town and bridge number) to ensure the correct physical asset is identified.

SCOPE

The definition of the bridge to be dedicated was updated from a location based on mile marker 110 0701 1011 to the bridge on state route 110 designated as bridge number 1019119 in the town of Babylon, Suffolk County.

TECHNICAL

The legislative status text was changed to indicate the bill was amended, reprinted, and the committee was discharged, replacing the original text that only mentioned committing the bill to the committee.
