Bill > HB734

This bill designates a specific stretch of Interstate 49 in McDonald County, Missouri, as the "Deputy Marshal David Thurman Memorial Highway". The section of highway runs from U.S. Highway 71 continuing south to the Arkansas/Missouri state line. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is required to erect and maintain appropriate signage identifying this memorial highway, with the department bearing the costs of these signs. By naming this highway segment after Deputy Marshal David Thurman, the legislation appears to be honoring a local law enforcement officer, though the specific details of Thurman's service or significance are not provided in the bill text. The bill amends Chapter 227 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section (227.857) to officially recognize and memorialize the highway designation.
