SUMMARY ANALYSIS
State law authorizes legislative designations of transportation facilities for honorary or memorial purposes or to
distinguish a particular facility. The legislative designations do not officially change the current names of the
facilities, nor does the law require local governments and private entities to change street signs, mailing
addresses, or 911 emergency telephone system listings. State law also requires the appropriate city or county
commission to pass a resolution supporting the designation prior to the erection of markers indicating the
designation.
The bill creates 3 honorary designations for various transportation facilities across the state honoring fallen law
enforcement officers and directs the Department of Transportation (DOT) to erect suitable markers for each
designation.
The bill will have an insignificant negative fiscal impact to the State Transportation Trust Fund associated with
erecting suitable markers for the above designations. These costs can be absorbed within DOT’s existing
resources.
The bill has an effective date of July 1, 2021.
