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

  Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that Lt.
Joseph J. Theinert of Shelter Island, county of Suffolk  was  killed  on
June  4,  2010  while  serving his country in the New York Army National
Guard in Afghanistan. Lt. Theinert was killed while serving in the  10th
Mountain  Division in Kandahar, Afghanistan when an improvised explosive
device he was disarming exploded. He has posthumously received  numerous
honors and medals for his courageous actions.
  It  is  the intent of this act to recognize the ultimate sacrifice Lt.
Joseph J. Theinert paid in serving his country  and  to  honor  all  the
veterans of Shelter Island who have served our nation.
  S  2.  The  highway  law is amended by adding a new section 342-yyy to

NERT MEMORIAL WAY".
  S  3. The commissioner of transportation shall provide for the instal-
lation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state  highway  system
as  designated  pursuant  to section two of this act.  However, to avoid
confusion and to limit any possible disruption of commerce,  the  desig-
nation  called  for  pursuant to section two of this act shall be one of
ceremonial nature and the official name of such  highway  shall  not  be
changed as a result of this act.
  S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
