Bill > HB0044

This bill designates a specific segment of State Highway 230 in Wyoming as the "Loren 'Teense' Willford Memorial Highway," which runs between the intersection of state highways 130 and 230 and the town boundary of Riverside. The Wyoming Department of Transportation is authorized and required to install appropriate signage identifying this memorial highway, in compliance with federal and state regulations. To support this designation, the legislature has appropriated $3,000 from the general fund specifically for the purpose of creating and installing these highway signs. The funding is strictly limited to this project and must be used between the bill's effective date and June 30, 2026, with any unused funds to be returned to the state. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and the legislature intends that this appropriation not be included in the department's standard budget for the next fiscal biennium. While the bill does not elaborate on who Loren "Teense" Willford was, the memorial highway suggests he was likely a person of significance to the local community.
