Bill > HB82

This bill designates two specific portions of highways in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, as memorial highways. The first section names a portion of Louisiana Highway 39 from St. Bernard Parkway to the Plaquemines Parish state line as the "Lynn B. Dean Memorial Highway". The second section renames a portion of Louisiana Highway 46 from Louisiana Highway 1245 to Florissant Highway as the "Henry Rodriguez Jr. Memorial Highway". The third section instructs the Department of Transportation and Development to erect and maintain appropriate signage for these highway designations, but only if local or private funds are provided to cover the costs of materials, fabrication, mounting posts, and installation, with each sign's cost not exceeding $550. This type of legislation is common at the state level, where portions of roads are named to honor local individuals who have made significant contributions to their community.
