What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the Department of Transportation may authorize the erection and maintenance of specific information signs on designated highways under its jurisdiction. The signs indicate that certain businesses located near a highway provide motorist services in one or more of the following categories: gas, food, lodging, camping, or attractions. Currently, specific information signs are authorized on STH 21 from I 94 north of Tomah to USH 41 at Oshkosh.

This bill eliminates the authorization for specific information signs on STH 21 from I 94 north of Tomah to I 39/USH 51 in Waushara County. The bill does not affect the current authorization for specific information signs on STH 21 from I 39/USH 51 in Waushara County to USH 41 at Oshkosh.
