What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, numerous state trunk highways and bridges have been designated in various ways as veterans memorials. Current law requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to publish highway service maps showing the state trunk highway system and folded highway maps of the state. DOT must identify on the highway service maps and folded highway maps it publishes for sale or distribution to the public each veterans memorial highway or bridge and the location of specified veterans memorials, homes, and museums.

This bill requires DOT to include on these maps identification of the location of the Wisconsin Veterans Tribute and the Citizen Soldier Monument in the village of Cadott.
