Bill > HB1529

This bill designates a specific segment of Pennsylvania Route 51 in Whitehall Borough, Allegheny County, as the "Hon. Raymond T. Book Memorial Highway" in honor of 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 education at Robert Morris Business College and the University of Pittsburgh, his professional career in steel and real estate industries, and his political service. Book served on the Whitehall Borough Council starting in 1980, was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1982, where he sponsored the Organ Donor Bill, and later served on the Pennsylvania Real Estate Board. The legislation requires the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs identifying the highway segment with Book's name, and the act will take effect 60 days after its passage. By naming this highway segment, the bill memorializes Book's contributions to his community and public service.
