AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to  establishing

TRIBOROUGH BRIDGE, THE BRONX WHITESTONE BRIDGE,  THE  VERRAZANO  BRIDGE,
THE  THROGS  NECK  BRIDGE,  AND  THE QUEENS MIDTOWN AND BROOKLYN-BATTERY
TUNNELS. THE AUTHORITY SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO  CONSIDER  OTHER  MATTERS
NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THIS SECTION.
