Bill > HB867

This bill proposes to designate a portion of State Highway E in Ralls County, Missouri, as the "James Thompson Highway". Specifically, the section of highway runs from State Highway 79 eastward to Riverview Drive. The Missouri Department of Transportation will be responsible for erecting and maintaining highway signs that identify this stretch of road by its new name, with the costs of the signage to be covered by private donations rather than state funds. This type of legislative action, known as a highway designation bill, is a common way for state legislatures to honor local individuals by naming transportation infrastructure after them, which serves both as a memorial and a way to recognize community contributions.
