Bill > HB2124

This bill designates three specific roadways and a bridge in Kansas to honor military service and sacrifice. First, a portion of United States highway 160 from Argonia's eastern city limits to Eden road will be named the CPL Monte Wayne Forrest memorial highway, commemorating a specific service member. Second, a section of United States highway 77 stretching from Interstate 70 through Geary and Riley counties to its junction with K-16 highway will be designated as the POW MIA memorial highway, honoring Prisoners of War (POWs) and those Missing in Action (MIAs). Third, Bridge No. 82-14-6.88 located on K-82 highway in Clay county will be named the POW MIA memorial bridge, further recognizing the sacrifices of military personnel who were prisoners of war or went missing during conflict. For each of these designations, the bill requires the Kansas secretary of transportation to place appropriate highway signs at suitable intervals to indicate the memorial status of these roadways and bridge. The bill will take effect and be in force upon publication in the Kansas register, replacing an earlier reference to publication in the statute book.
