AB 740

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 27 in Rusk and Sawyer counties as the "Willis J. Hutnik Memorial Highway"

in recognition and appreciation of the public service of Willis J. Hutnik, who

represented this area with distinction in the Wisconsin assembly from the 1953

legislative session to the 1969 legislative session. No state funds, other than from

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

of any markers on STH 27 to identify the highway as the "Willis J. Hutnik Memorial

Highway."
