Bill > SB718

This bill designates a specific portion of Pennsylvania Route 51 in Whitehall Borough, Allegheny County, as the "Hon. Raymond T. Book Memorial Highway" to honor Raymond T. Book, a local public servant and veteran. The bill provides a detailed biographical background on Book, highlighting his military service during World War II, his professional career in steel and real estate, and his political contributions as a Whitehall Borough Council member and Pennsylvania House of Representatives member. The legislation requires the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs identifying the highway segment, which runs from Segment 0280/Offset 0000 to Segment 0300/Offset 0570. The bill also specifies that it will take effect 60 days after its enactment, providing time for the necessary highway signage to be prepared and installed. By creating this memorial highway, the bill aims to permanently recognize Book's service to his country, community, and state.
