What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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."
