Bill > SB467

This bill establishes the Highway Signage Fund in the State Treasury, which will provide funding for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to create signage for memorial highway designations that honor individuals who have advanced racial and gender equity. The fund can be supported by various sources including state General Fund appropriations, public and private donations, gifts, grants, and federal funds. The moneys in the fund will be available to Caltrans upon legislative appropriation, specifically to cover the costs of erecting highway signs commemorating previously approved memorial highways. This legislation builds upon existing laws that give the Department of Transportation broad authority over state highways, and aims to create a dedicated funding mechanism for memorializing important figures who have contributed to social progress in California.
