Bill > HB1604

This bill proposes to rename the Katy Trail, a 239-mile recreational trail that spans most of Missouri, to the "Bishop Davidson Trail" starting on August 28, 2025. The bill amends Chapter 253 of the Missouri Revised Statutes by adding a new section that officially changes the name of the trail. The Katy Trail, which is currently named after the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (MKT or "Katy") that previously used the rail corridor, would be renamed to honor Bishop Davidson, though the specific details about this person are not provided in the bill text. The legislation simply mandates the trail's name change, effective on the specified date, without providing additional context about the reasoning behind the renaming.
