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 the bridge on STH 33 across the Wisconsin River in the city of Portage as the "Pierre Pauquette Memorial Bridge" to recognize and honor this fearless and honest early settler of Wisconsin who operated a ferry business across the Wisconsin River and served as an intermediary between the federal government and the Native Americans of the area. No state funds, other than from contributions from interested parties, may be used for the erection or maintenance of any markers to identify the bridge as the "Pierre Pauquette Memorial Bridge."
