AI Summary
This bill designates a specific portion of U.S. Highway 69 in Smith County, Texas, as the Veterans Memorial Highway. The designated stretch runs from its intersection with South State Loop 323 to its intersection with the northern municipal limits of Bullard. The Texas Department of Transportation is required to design and erect markers along this highway segment to indicate its new designation, with markers to be placed at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate sites. This designation is additional to any existing highway designations and serves to honor and commemorate veterans. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and was passed unanimously by both the Senate (30-0) and the House (146-0) during the 89th Legislature's Regular Session.
