What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain highway routes and bridges have been designated

and marked to memorialize, commemorate, or recognize certain individuals, groups,

or events. This bill directs the Department of Transportation to designate and, upon

receipt of sufficient contributions from interested parties, mark the entire route of

USH 63 as the "Gaylord Nelson Highway" in recognition and appreciation of Gaylord

Nelson, who served with distinction as both the governor and a U.S. senator and

whose legacy includes numerous environmental achievements, including the

founding of Earth Day, the creation of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program,

and the preservation of the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. No state funds, other

than from contributions from interested parties, may be used for the erection or

maintenance of any markers on USH 63 to identify the highway as the "Gaylord

Nelson Highway."
