Bill > SB422

This bill creates a new section in Wisconsin statutes to designate the overpass on Interstate 39 over State Highway 82 in the town of Oxford, Marquette County, as the "Greg Quinn and Larry Millard Memorial Bridge" in honor of two firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is required to mark the bridge with this memorial name, but only after receiving sufficient contributions from local governments or other interested parties to cover the costs of erecting and maintaining identification markers. The bill specifically stipulates that no state funds may be used for these markers beyond the contributions received, ensuring that the memorial is funded through voluntary donations. This type of legislative memorial is a common way for states to recognize and commemorate local heroes who have made significant sacrifices in public service.
