Bill > HB745

This bill names an alternative use trail bridge over Route 101 in the city of Keene, New Hampshire, currently known as South Bridge, after Charles Redfern. The bill specifies that while the bridge will be officially renamed, any costs associated with designing, constructing, maintaining, and installing new signage for the bridge will not be a charge to the state. However, the design, construction, and installation of any new signage or markers must be approved by the state's department of transportation. The bill references RSA 4:43, which likely provides the legal framework for naming state infrastructure, and will take effect immediately upon passage. The legislation appears to be a straightforward commemorative measure to honor Charles Redfern by naming a local bridge after him, with careful provisions to ensure that the renaming does not create a financial burden for the state government.
