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 to designate and, upon receipt of sufficient contributions from interested parties, mark the route of STH 128 in Pierce and St. Croix counties as the "128th Infantry Memorial Highway" to honor the members of the 128th Battalion of the 32nd Infantry Brigade for bravery, sacrifice, and devotion in their service in Iraq as well as World Wars I and II. No state funds, other than from contributions from interested parties, may be used for the erection or maintenance of any markers to identify the highway as the "128th Infantry Memorial Highway."
