New York State Department of Transportation Office of Legal Affairs Internal Memoranda on Proposed Legislation

The series consists of internal memoranda, along with lists of statutes and copies of legislative bills, commenting on legislative proposals pertaining to the department and state transportation issues. Various offices of the department commented on the impact and advisability of sections of proposed law pertaining to their operations (planning, engineering, landscaping, program analysis).

Discussion concerns law in the areas of highways, canals and transportation; environment; state/local finance; public authorities; vehicle and safety; and civil service. Issues include highway routes and maintenance, land sale and lease, environmental quality standards, vehicle and traffic signs/signals, and removing officers or fixing compensation for transportation employees.

The accession resulted from a project by Archives staff in 1997 to accession or integrate estrayed or unidentified records.
