AI Summary
This bill designates numerous memorial roads, bridges, and interchanges across Oklahoma to honor various individuals who have served or made significant contributions to their communities. The bill creates new sections of law to officially name specific transportation infrastructure after people like Eldon Hogue, Gary Don Rayner (a Professional Land Surveyor or PLS), Representative James E. Covey, and many military service members including Trooper Bob Impson, SFC Brandon O. Poynter, PFC David P. Manners, and LCPL John C. Reevs. Each designation requires the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to place suitable permanent markers with the memorial name on the respective bridge, highway section, or interchange. The bill also makes two amendments to previously established memorial designations: adding the word "Chief" before Ernest Evans' name in a memorial trail designation and correcting the location of the Leonard Earl Sullivan Memorial Bridge. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, and covers a wide range of memorial designations across multiple counties in Oklahoma, honoring individuals from various professional backgrounds including law enforcement, military, public service, and community leadership.
