AN  ACT  to  amend  the  public  authorities law and the highway law, in
  relation to renaming the Brooklyn Battery tunnel  the  Hugh  L.  Carey
  tunnel

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative findings and  intent.  The  legislature  hereby
recognizes  Hugh  L.  Carey,  by  naming  after him the Brooklyn Battery
Tunnel, as a tribute befitting his historic contribution to the state of
New York. Hugh L. Carey served the people of New York state as a  member
of the United States House of Representatives for fourteen years, and as
the  fifty-first  Governor of New York state for twelve years. He served
as Governor during a time of great challenge for  New  York  state,  and
significantly advanced the state's fiscal well-being and economic devel-
opment. He brought the city of New York back from the brink of bankrupt-
cy, and was instrumental in the development of the South Street Seaport,
Battery  Park  City  and  the Jacob Javits Convention Center. He greatly
improved the services provided to the mentally ill  and  developmentally
disabled,  by  entering  into the Willowbrook consent decree and through
other initiatives. Hugh L. Carey served with distinction as a member  of
the  New  York  National  Guard  in  Europe during the Second World War,
receiving the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Bronze Star and the Croix de
Guerre, and leaving active duty with the rank of colonel. His decades of
service to this state and nation fully merit the honor bestowed upon him
by this bill.
  S 2. Paragraph (g) of subdivision 9  of  section  553  of  the  public
authorities  law,  as  amended  by  chapter  954 of the laws of 1946, is
amended to read as follows:
  (g) a vehicular tunnel or tunnels under construction, known as [Brook-
lyn Battery] HUGH L. CAREY tunnel, under the East river from the  south-

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
