Bill > HB81

This bill requires the Missouri Department of Transportation to place special signs honoring recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor in their hometowns. Specifically, the bill defines "hometown" as the city, town, or village where the Medal of Honor recipient lived for most of their life, and allows the department to choose a suitable location based on available right of way and safety considerations. The signs must include the words "Medal of Honor Recipient", the recipient's name, and the year they received the award. The department will pay for, erect, and maintain these signs using funds from the Missouri Medal of Honor Recipients Fund. The sign's design must conform to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and only one sign will be placed per recipient on one route through their hometown. The bill also authorizes the department to create rules and regulations for implementing this program, with provisions ensuring that any such rules comply with state administrative rulemaking procedures. This legislation aims to recognize and honor Missouri residents who have received the nation's highest military decoration for valor.
