Title of bill

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to the designation of the "Sergeant Devin Snyder Memorial Highway"

Purpose

To designate a portion of the interstate highway 390 as the "Sergeant Devin Snyder Memorial Highway."

Summary

Section 1 amends the highway law by adding a new section, 343-z in order that a portion of interstate highway 390 be designated as the "Sergeant Devin Snyder Memorial Highway."

Section 2 directs the commissioner of the department of transportation to provide for "Sergeant Devin Snyder Memorial Highway" signage.

Section 3 provides the enacting clause.

This legislation would celebrate the late US Army Sgt. Devin A. Snyder of Cohocton, Steuben County, who was killed June 4, 2011, while serving in Afghanistan.
