Bill > HB2576

This bill designates a specific bridge on State Highway CC that crosses over Interstate 44 in Webster County as the "Dr Tommy Macdonnell Memorial Bridge". The Missouri Department of Transportation will be responsible for erecting and maintaining signs identifying the bridge by its new name. Notably, the bill specifies that the costs associated with creating and installing these signs will be covered by the department of transportation, which is an exception to typical signage cost provisions. The bill references the honoree's Silver Star Award as the reason for the department absorbing the signage expenses, suggesting Dr. Tommy Macdonnell was likely a military veteran who received this significant military decoration. By amending Chapter 227 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, the legislation creates a new section (227.903) to formally recognize and memorialize Dr. Macdonnell through this bridge naming.
