Summary — A6584: Dedicating a portion of the state highway system to TSgt Kory Wade

Purpose / Intent

A6584 is an honorary designation bill that would name or dedicate a portion of the New York state highway system in honor of Technical Sergeant (TSgt) Kory Wade. Such bills acknowledge the service or memory of individuals by assigning their name to a specified stretch of roadway.

Key provisions (general)

  • Designates a specified segment of the state highway system as the “TSgt Kory Wade” memorial/dedication (exact highway segment is described in the bill text).
  • Directs the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to install and maintain signage identifying the dedicated name, in accordance with NYSDOT standards.
  • Typically clarifies that the designation is honorary and does not alter official route numbers, legal descriptions, or affect traffic laws (this is standard for highway dedication bills; consult the bill text for the exact language).
  • The bill text (A6584A / A6584B prints were produced) should be consulted for precise legal language, the exact location of the designation, and any provisions about funding for signs.

Who or what is affected

  • New York State Department of Transportation — responsible for sign fabrication, placement and maintenance.
  • Local municipalities adjacent to the designated highway segment — may coordinate with NYSDOT on placement.
  • Motorists and the general public — will see and use the honorary name for recognition and memorial purposes.
  • Family, community and veterans’ groups — beneficiaries of the public recognition.

Procedural status and timeline

  • Introduced in the Assembly: March 6, 2025 (sponsored by Assemblyman Jeff Gallahan).
  • Referred to Transportation; later printed as A6584A (May 1, 2025) and A6584B (June 5, 2025) following amendments and recommittals.
  • Reported and referred to Rules; ordered to third reading (June 11, 2025).
  • On June 11, 2025 the bill was marked “SUBSTITUTED BY S5769B” — indicating the companion Senate measure S5769B is being used in place of A6584 for further action. S5769 is the companion bill.

Fiscal/administrative impact

  • Honorary road dedications customarily involve modest costs for signs and installation. The bill summary provided does not show an appropriation; check the full bill/S5769B text for any funding language or sponsor provisions about sign costs.

Notes / next steps

  • Because A6584 was substituted by S5769B, consult S5769B (Senate) for the operative text and current status.
  • For full legal details (precise location, sign language, funding), review the bill text and any fiscal notes or NYSDOT comments associated with S5769B.
