Section 1. The highway law is amended by adding a new section 344-r to
read as follows:

SPECIALIST JASON JOHNSTON. ALL THAT PORTION OF THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM
CONSTITUTING STATE ROUTE THIRTY-ONE-A FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH POWER-
LINE ROAD TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH STATE ROUTE NINETY-EIGHT IN THE TOWN
OF ALBION, COUNTY OF ORLEANS, SHALL BE DEDICATED TO SPECIALIST JASON
JOHNSTON.
§ 2. The commissioner of transportation shall provide for the instal-
lation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway system
as dedicated pursuant to section one of this act, provided that such
signing shall state "Highway Dedicated to Specialist Jason Johnston".
However, to avoid confusion and to limit any possible disruption of
commerce, the dedication called for pursuant to section one 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.
§ 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
