SENATE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
STATEMENT TO
SENATE, No. 3673
with committee amendments
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: JUNE 1, 2023
The Senate Transportation Committee reports favorably and with
committee amendments Senate Bill No. 3673.
As amended and reported, this bill designates the bridge over
Crosswicks Creek on Interstate Highway Route 295 North as the
“Benjamin Moore and the 693rd Sapper Company Memorial
Highway” to honor the patriotism of Benjamin G. Moore, who was
killed in action in Afghanistan, and the 693rd Sapper Company.
Consistent with Department of Transportation policy and other
road designations, the bill provides that State or other public funds
are not to be used for producing, purchasing, or erecting signs
bearing the designation for the “Benjamin Moore and the 693rd
Sapper Company Memorial Highway.” The Commissioner of
Transportation is authorized to receive financial assistance from
private sources for the costs associated with producing, purchasing,
erecting, and maintaining signs bearing the designation.
The committee amended the bill to correctly reference the “693rd
Sapper Company” instead of the “693rd Sappers Company,” as
previously referenced.
