Summary — A.4041 (Chapter 372 of 2025)

Title: Dedicates a portion of the state highway system in the town of Haverstraw, county of Rockland to Hector L. Soto

Main purpose

This bill designates (names) a portion of the New York State highway system located in the town of Haverstraw, Rockland County, in honor of Hector L. Soto. It is a commemorative/ceremonial highway designation rather than a change in traffic rules or highway ownership.

Key provisions

  • Officially dedicates a portion of the state highway system in the town of Haverstraw, Rockland County, to Hector L. Soto.
  • Establishes the name to be used for ceremonial and signage purposes on the designated segment.
  • The enacted measure is Chapter 372 of the Laws of 2025 (signed by the Governor on September 10, 2025).

Note: The publicly provided summary and bill metadata identify the dedication and location but do not include the full statutory language in this record. For precise legal text (exact segment limits, wording of the designation, signage placement, and any instructions to the Department of Transportation), consult the enrolled bill text (A.4041B/A.4041A) or the session laws under Chapter 372 (2025).

Who is affected / impact

  • Primarily symbolic: residents of Haverstraw, visitors, and road users will see the commemorative name on signage.
  • New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) would typically be responsible for installing and maintaining any signs bearing the honorary name; any costs or specifications would be set out in the statute or subsequent agency implementation (not detailed in the provided materials).
  • No change to highway jurisdiction, traffic regulations, funding allocations, or property rights is implied by the title; the designation is commemorative.

  • Referred to Transportation; printed as A4041A (May 15, 2025) and A4041B (June 2, 2025) after amendments.
  • Passed Assembly and delivered to Senate (June 9, 2025); reported and ordered to third reading in Senate; passed Senate (June 10, 2025).

  • Delivered to Governor: September 5, 2025.
  • Signed into law (Chapter 372): September 10, 2025.

Implementation notes

The enacted chapter should be consulted for those details.
