2017-S964 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S964

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to redesignating the
"Army Captain Clayton Carpenter Memorial Highway" to be the "Major
Clayton Carpenter Memorial Highway"

 PURPOSE :

This bill would redesignate the "Army Captain Clayton Carpenter
Memorial Highway" to the "Major Clayton Carpenter Memorial Highway" in
order to reflect Army Captain Carpenter's posthumous promotion to
Major.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section one amends section 344-e of the highway law to reflect Army
Captain Clayton Carpenter's posthumous promotion to Major.

Section two establishes the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Army Captain Clayton Carpenter, 31, was tragically killed on January
15, 2014 during a training accident when the MH-60 Blackhawk he was

piloting crashed near Hunter Army Air Field in Savannah, Georgia. A
platoon leader of for the 3rd Battalion, 160th Special Operations
Aviation Regiment, also known as "Night Stalkers," Captain Carpenter
was a highly trained pilot, and revered by his fellow officers and
members of the community.

Army Captain Carpenter and his family moved to Cortlandt Manor in 1992
from Brooklyn, New York. Captain Carpenter attended Lakeland High
School, where he was team captain of the boys' track and field team.
While a student, he also participated in Mock Trial, student
government, Future Business Leaders of America and the Yorktown
Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Following graduation, Captain Carpenter
entered the United States Military Academy at West Point where he was
commissioned as a second lieutenant in 2005, receiving a Bachelor's of
Science in Engineering Psychology.

Captain Carpenter's impressive military career included tours in both
Iraq and Afghanistan. Upon his passing, the community joined together
to recognize this incredible local hero. Firefighters from across
Westchester County came together to salute and provide honor guard to
the police escorted funeral procession as it entered the town.
Captain Carpenter's dedication to his country and community are
evidenced through his military service and sacrifice. There is no more
fitting way for the state to memorialize the honor and patriotism of
Army Captain Clayton Carpenter than naming a portion of the state
highway after this fallen hero.

This bill amends chapter 383 of the laws of 2016 to reflect Army
Captain Clayton Carpenter's posthumous promotion to Major.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
