Bill Summary

Directs the department of transportation to erect and maintain signs designating the "Ozark Highlands Spirits Region"

AI Summary

This bill directs the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to install and maintain informational signs marking the "Ozark Highlands Spirits Region" along highways that enter or approach the region. The signs will be designed in consultation with the Ozark Highland Distillers Guild and their placement will be based on a map referenced in another section of Missouri state law (section 311.028). Importantly, the cost of these signs will not be borne by public funds, but instead will be paid for through private donations. This legislation appears aimed at promoting the local distillery industry and potentially boosting tourism in the Ozark Highlands area by creating a clearly designated and branded regional spirits destination.
