The sponsor's argument

Why Alexis Weik says this is needed

On September 11, 2001, our Nation was attacked and thousands of innocent civilians lost their lives. Planes were hijacked to be used as weapons, two of which collided with the World Trade Center in New York City, another attacked the Pentagon, and another crashed into rural Pennsylva- nia due to the heroic actions of those on board that flight. While the WTC was smoldering, countless first responders ran to the wreckage to save lives, many of whom lost their lives in the process. Of the 2,977 victims who died on 9'11, 343 were firefighters with the NYC Fire Department. We will never forget the memories of those firefighters and other first responders who courageously responded to the WTC attack and tragically lost their lives. This bill would honor those firefighters who lost their lives on 9-11 and who continue to lose their lives year after year, particularly those who lived on Long Island, by designating a portion of the Long Island Expressway between exists 59 and 61 in Suffolk County in their honor.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
