The sponsor's argument

Why Steve Rhoads says this is needed

Trooper James M. MacLarnon was one of the original K Troop members assigned to the Long Island Parkway detail. He was a four-Year veteran of the State Police, assigned to the Jones Beach barracks at the time of his death: Prior to joining the State Police, Trooper MacLarnon was a member of the 71st Infantry regiment of the NY National Guard. In 1926, he was awarded the medal of valor for saving 2 canoeists from drowning in the Hudson River. On January 19, 1931, Trooper James M. MacLarnon died as a result of injuries sustained after he was struck by a car on Merrick Road in Bellmore, NY. We cannot forget that our State Troopers serve faithfully in the face of grave danger, with many paying dearly for the safety and comfort we have come to take for granted. This legislation is to pay tribute to Trooper MacLarnon's honorable service by memorializing his life and reminding the public of the sacrifices and contributions of our fallen Troopers.

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.
