Bill > SB422

This bill proposes to designate a specific bridge on Interstate 70 in Jackson County, Missouri, as the "Officer James Muhlbauer K-9 Officer Champ Memorial Bridge". The legislation amends Chapter 227 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section that requires the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to erect and maintain official signage identifying the bridge by its memorial name. The bridge crosses over CST Van Burnt Boulevard, and the costs associated with creating and installing the memorial signs will be covered by the department of transportation. This type of legislative memorial is a common way to honor local law enforcement officers or first responders who have made significant contributions or sacrifices in their community, in this case seemingly honoring Officer James Muhlbauer and his K-9 partner Champ.
