What's happening

This bill renames the Eltingville transit center in Staten Island as the "Iraq War and Afghanistan War Veterans' Memorial Transit Center."

Why it matters

Title of bill

An act in relation to designating the Eltingville transit center as the "Iraq War and Afghanistan War Veterans' Memorial Transit Center"

Purpose or general idea of bill

The purpose of this legislation is to designate the Eltingville Transit Center in the county of Richmond as the "Iraq and Afghanistan War Veter- ans' Memorial Transit Center".

Summary of specific provisions

This legislation will designate the Eltingville Transit Center in the county of Richmond as the "Iraq War and Afghanistan War Veterans' Memo- rial Transit Center".

Justification

Since the beginning of the War on Terror service men and women hailing from all across New York State have gone abroad and have made tremendous sacrifices on behalf of our nation.
