Bill > SB876

This bill designates a portion of U.S. Highway 377 under construction as of September 1, 2024, as the "Bob Cornett Parkway" in Hood and Johnson Counties, Texas. The highway segment, which serves as a relief route around the town of Cresson, will retain its existing highway designation while also being honored with this new name. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is required to design and erect markers at the beginning and end of the highway segment, as well as at intermediate locations, to indicate the Bob Cornett Parkway designation. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, and appears to be a commemorative designation likely honoring a local figure named Bob Cornett who has significance to the Cresson area or the surrounding counties.
