Bill > SB979

This bill designates the bridge on U.S. Highway 69 that crosses over West Main Street in Durant, Bryan County, Oklahoma, as the "Novak and Jean Bullard Memorial Bridge". The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is required to install permanent markers on the bridge displaying this name. The legislation creates a new section of law in Title 69 of the Oklahoma Statutes and will become effective on November 1, 2025. By naming the bridge after Novak and Jean Bullard, the bill appears to be honoring these individuals, though the specific reason for memorializing them is not detailed in the text. Such memorial bridge designations are a common way for states to recognize local citizens or families who have made significant contributions to their community.
