        Introduced  by  Sen. SKOUFIS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

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

     1    Section 1. The highway law is amended by adding a new section 344-r to
     2  read as follows:
     3    § 344-R. PORTION OF THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM TO BE  DEDICATED  AS  THE
     4  "APPALACHIAN  TRAIL  HIGHWAY".  ALL  THAT  PORTION  OF THE STATE HIGHWAY

     6  BE DEDICATED AS THE "APPALACHIAN TRAIL HIGHWAY".

     8  lation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state  highway  system
     9  as  dedicated  pursuant  to  section  one of this act. However, to avoid

    11  cation  called  for  pursuant to section one of this act shall be one of
    12  ceremonial nature and the official name of such  highway  shall  not  be
