Summary — A.7452 (2025)

Status: SUBSTITUTED BY S601C
Introduced: March 28, 2025
Sponsor: Assemblyman David DiPietro
Companion: S.601 (Senate) — substituted as S601C
Prior-session related bill: A.8959

Purpose

A.7452 would dedicate a portion of the New York State highway system in honor of the "Boston NY Fallen Firefighters." The bill is an honorary designation intended to recognize and memorialize firefighters from Boston, New York, who lost their lives in the line of duty.

Key provisions (based on bill title and common practice)

  • Creates an honorary name for a specified portion of the State highway system referencing the "Boston NY Fallen Firefighters." (The bill text is needed to identify the exact highway segment and termini.)
  • Authorizes the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to install and maintain appropriate signage identifying the dedicated stretch, consistent with NYSDOT standards and state law.
  • The designation is ceremonial and does not change highway ownership, jurisdiction, traffic laws, or maintenance responsibilities.

Note: The full bill text is not provided here. Exact language, including the precise roadway segment, sign design, and any cost/funding instructions, should be consulted in the official bill text or substituted Senate version (S601C).

Who would be affected

  • NYSDOT: administrative responsibility to implement the dedication and erect signage if the bill directs (subject to available resources and statutory procedures).
  • Town of Boston / Boston-area community and families of fallen firefighters: would gain an official memorial designation that recognizes local service and sacrifice.
  • General public/travelers: would see commemorative signage; day-to-day use of the roadway would be unchanged.

Fiscal and legal impact

  • Typically, these honorary dedications carry minimal fiscal impact — primarily the cost of signs and installation. Whether costs are borne by the State, local entities, or private donors depends on the bill's text or implementing guidance.
  • The designation is symbolic and does not create new legal rights or change traffic regulations.
