Highways: Highway Signage Fund.

Summary

The bill establishes the Memorial Highway Signage Fund in the State Treasury and permits money—such as legislative appropriations, donations, gifts, or grants—to be used by the Department of Transportation for the cost of installing signage on memorial highways already approved by the Legislature. It focuses on highways that honor individuals who have promoted racial and gender equity, ensuring those signs can be erected without diverting other state resources.
