AI Summary

This bill designates Farm-to-Market Road 10 in Panola County as the Deputy Sheriff Chris Dickerson Memorial Highway. Specifically, the legislation requires the Texas Department of Transportation to design and erect markers along the highway that identify the road's memorial designation. The markers will be placed at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate locations. The bill specifies that this memorial designation is in addition to any existing road designations, meaning the road will retain its original name while also honoring Deputy Sheriff Chris Dickerson. The legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and is part of the 89th Legislature's regular session. The purpose appears to be to memorialize and recognize the service of Deputy Sheriff Chris Dickerson by naming a local road segment in his honor, which is a common practice for honoring public safety officers or other notable community members who have made significant contributions or sacrifices.
