BILL NUMBER:A9203
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the highway law, in relation to drug
free zone signs near public libraries
PURPOSE: Allows any political subdivision of the state having jurisdic-
tion over any road fronting any public library as defined by the educa-
tion law, may, at the request of the library, place signs indicating a
drug free zone within the right of way of the highway.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 adds a new Section 318 to the Highway
Law for Drug Free Library Zone signs.

EXISTING LAW: Current law provides for Drug Free Zone signage within
right of way of the highways fronting public schools. No current law for
Drug Free Library Zones.

step toward protecting these children when they are frequenting the
Library.
