2023-S2202 - Sponsor Memo

                                 
BILL NUMBER: S2202

SPONSOR: THOMAS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of
the state highway system as the "Trooper Theodore A. Dobbs Memorial
Bridge"

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To designate a portion of the state highway system in the Town of North
Hempstead after fallen State Trooper Theodore A. Dobbs.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends the highway law by adding a new section 334-o to
designate the portion of the state highway system as "Trooper Theodore
A. Dobbs Memorial Bridge". This portion of the highway constitutes the
Old Country Road overpass at the Meadowbrook state parkway in the Town
of North Hempstead, in the county of Nassau.

Section two allows the Commissioner of Transportation to provide for the
installation and maintenance of the signage for the bridge renaming. The
renaming of this bridge shall be ceremonial in nature, and therefore the
official name of such bridge will not be changed as a result of this
act.

Section three states the effect date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Trooper Theodore A. Dobbs served with the New York' State Police and was
a member of Troop K, assigned to the Long island Parkway Detail.  While
on patrol, he was struck on his motorcycle by a truck that had passed
through a stop sign on the Jericho Turnpike in Mineola. He passed away
due to complications from his injuries on September 29, 1924. He was
only twenty four years old at the time of his passing, and the renaming
will commemorate Trooper Dobbs and leave an honorable tribute to his
service.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

None to the State.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
