What it does
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 (DOT) to designate and, upon receipt of sufficient contributions from interested parties, mark a specified highway route in the counties of Rock, Dane, Jefferson, Dodge, and Fond du Lac as the "Rock River Trail Scenic and Historic Route" to increase public appreciation of the river, its scenic beauty, and the historic landmarks along the river's course. DOT may not expend any state funds from any DOT appropriation for the costs of fabrication, erection, maintenance, or replacement of these markers except funds received as contributions to cover these costs, which may include funds received from another state agency for this purpose.
