AI Summary
This bill requires the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to include the state motto "The Crossroads of America" or its variation "Crossroads of America" on welcome signs placed at entry points to Indiana along interstates, highways, streets, or roads. The bill adds a new section to the Indiana Code specifying that when INDOT installs a welcome sign at a state entry point, the sign must feature this motto, which was originally adopted by the General Assembly in House Concurrent Resolution 6-1937. The provision will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving the department time to implement the new signage requirement. This legislative change aims to prominently display Indiana's official state slogan and create a consistent, recognizable welcome message for visitors entering the state from any direction.
