Bill > H0987

This bill designates multiple transportation facilities across various Florida counties as memorial highways, streets, and bridges in honor of specific individuals. These designations include naming an overpass in Bradford County as "Heroes Memorial Overpass", a highway segment in Charlotte County as "Sergeant Elio Diaz Memorial Highway", and various other roadways and bridges after law enforcement officers, public servants, and notable community figures such as Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Celia Cruz, and President Donald J. Trump. The bill specifically instructs the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to erect suitable markers identifying these designated transportation facilities, effectively creating permanent commemorative landmarks along these road segments. The designations span multiple counties including Bradford, Charlotte, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Lake, Seminole, Broward, Walton, Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, Orange, Duval, and Monroe, and cover various types of transportation infrastructure such as highways, streets, bridges, and overpasses. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes a minor amendment to a previous transportation facility designation law.
