Bill Summary
An act relating to transportation facility designations; providing honorary designations of certain transportation facilities in specified counties; directing the Department of Transportation to erect suitable markers; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill designates several transportation facilities in Florida with honorary names to commemorate specific individuals or groups. Specifically, a portion of U.S. 41 in Charlotte County will be named "Sergeant Elio Diaz Memorial Highway", a section of I-275 in Hillsborough County will become "Master Patrol Officer Jesse Madsen Memorial Highway", and two sections of Southern Boulevard in Palm Beach County will be designated as "President Donald J. Trump Boulevard" and "PBSO Motorman Highway" respectively. The Department of Transportation is required to erect suitable markers identifying these special highway designations. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and appears to be a legislative method of honoring law enforcement officers and a former president by naming transportation infrastructure segments after them. Such designations are common legislative practices that serve to recognize notable individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to their communities or the state.
