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 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."
