Bill > SB156

This bill designates August 6 as "Chris Sifford Day" in Missouri, commemorating the tragic plane crash in 2000 that claimed the lives of Chris Sifford, Governor Mel Carnahan, and Roger "Randy" Carnahan. The legislation encourages Missourians to reflect on the lives and legacies of these three public servants and recognize the state's hardworking government employees. Beyond the day of remembrance, the bill also includes numerous provisions for renaming and designating various highways, bridges, and transportation infrastructure across Missouri in honor of different individuals, including military personnel, law enforcement officers, public servants, and community leaders. These designations typically involve the Missouri Department of Transportation erecting and maintaining commemorative signs, with some sections specifying that sign costs will be covered by the department and others indicating they will be paid through private donations. The bill repeals and replaces existing sections of Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo) to incorporate these new highway and bridge namings, creating lasting memorials to those who have served the state and nation.
