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 USH

141 across the Menominee River in Marinette County as "Veterans Memorial Bridge"

as a living memorial to and in honor of all Wisconsin veterans, living and dead, of all

wars in which the United States has engaged. No state funds, other than from

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

of any marker to identify the bridge as "Veterans Memorial Bridge."
