BILL NUMBER:S4577 REVISED 4/17/13 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend chapter 399 of the laws of 2008 relating to giving certain Westchester county town boards the discretion to change speed limits, in relation to giving the town board of the town of Riverhead, county of Suffolk, the discretion to change speed limits PURPOSE: To permit the Town Board of Riverhead to set speed limits on all local roads within its jurisdiction. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends Chapter 399 of the Laws of 2008 to allow the Town of Riverhead in Suffolk County to be included with those towns whose town boards may set speed limits within their respective borders. JUSTIFICATION: The Town of Riverhead has received numerous complaints concerning dangerous traffic conditions within its town, exacerbated by speed zones that are too high for such conditions. As the town is neither a suburban town nor has a population of over 50,000, it does not presently have the authority to set speed limits. This legislation would add Riverhead to those towns who are empowered to do so LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to the State.
