BILL NUMBER:S7322A

Title of bill

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of the state highway system in the town of Brookhaven as the "FDNY Lt. Richard Nappi Memorial Bridge"

Purpose or general idea of bill

This legislation would designate the bridge on Patchogue-Mount Sinai Road also known as County Road 83 which crosses interstate route 495 in the town of Brookhaven, the "FDNY Lt. Richard Nappi Memorial Bridge."

Summary of specific provisions

Section One amends the highway law by adding a new section 343-z which designates a portion of the state highway system the "FDNY Lt. Richard Nappi Memorial Bridge."

Section Two directs the commissioner of transportation to install and maintain adequate signage as is designated by this act. The renaming of the bridge is ceremonial in nature and the official name shall remain unchanged to avoid confusion and limit disruption in commerce.

Section Three is the effective date.

Justification

Lt. Richard A. Nappi, a member of the Fire Department of New York's Engine 237 died in the line of duty on April 16, 2012 while battling a burning warehouse in Brooklyn. Lt. Nappi, a resident of Farmingville, also volunteered with the Farmingville Fire Department, and was a top instructor at the Suffolk County Fire Academy in Yaphank.

Lt. Richard Nappi had dedicated his life to firefighting, and the educa- tion of firefighters. He was honored as a hero in 1995, when he pulled fellow firefighters out of danger in the thick of the Long Island wild- fires, and on September 11, 2001 he raced to lower Manhattan following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, even though it was his day off.

This dedication will memorialize Lt. Nappi in his community and remind those who travel this bridge of the sacrifices he made, and the mark that he left on those in his community.
