Bill > HB1493

This bill modifies the existing law regarding the naming of a portion of State Highway 163 in Boone County as the "Corporal Stephen Lee Irvin Memorial Highway". The key change is twofold: first, it corrects the spelling of the first name from "Steven" to "Stephen", and second, it shifts the responsibility for funding the highway signs from private donations to the Missouri Department of Transportation. Specifically, the bill designates the highway segment from Mick Deaver Drive to Old Route K as the memorial highway and requires the department of transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signage, with the department now bearing the cost of these signs. This type of legislative action is common for honoring local service members by naming highways or other public infrastructure after them, in this case memorializing Corporal Stephen Lee Irvin.
