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 a portion of the route

of STH 50 in Kenosha County as the "LeRoy and Lynn Copen Memorial Highway"

in recognition and appreciation of: their legacy of community service; Lee's

distinguished and outstanding service as a 25-year veteran of the Kenosha County

Sheriff's Department; Lynn's nationally recognized and invaluable advocacy as the

Victim/Witness Coordinator for the Kenosha County District Attorney's office and as

a volunteer in the community; and Lee and Lynn Copen's shared dedication to

justice. No state funds, other than from contributions from interested parties, may

be used for the erection or maintenance of any markers on STH 50 to identify the

highway as the "LeRoy and Lynn Copen Memorial Highway."
