Purpose and Intent

  • Primary aim: Establish a memorial designation by setting aside a specific segment of the state highway system to recognize and Honor Corporal Kermit Davis.

  • The bill would specify the highway segment to be memorialized and the terms of designation (e.g., signage, administrative actions), subject to the bill’s text.
  • Any designation would become law upon enactment (subject to the provisions outlined in the enacted statute).

Affected Parties and Scope

  • State agencies: primarily the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT), which handles highway designations, signage, and related administrative updates.
  • Corporal Kermit Davis: the individual honored by the designation.
  • General public and motorists: those who travel the designated highway segment would encounter the memorial designation and any associated signage.

  • Sponsors: Primary sponsor David DiPietro.
  • Related/B companion bill: S 8565 in the Senate (listed as the companion to A 9177).
  • Next steps: The bill would typically proceed to floor consideration after committee review by the Transportation Committee, followed by potential passage by both houses and gubernatorial action if it advances.
