If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes by designating Loop 202 as the "Charlie Kirk Loop 202" and requiring this designation to be included in all official acts, state records, documents, and signage related to the highway. Specifically, the bill would insert new language stating that "notwithstanding this article, the Loop 202 is designated and shall also be known as the 'Charlie Kirk Loop 202'" and that all related documentation must reflect this new name. Additionally, the Arizona Department of Transportation would be tasked with erecting signage that includes the new designation.

The bill also clarifies that this new designation does not override any existing names assigned to Loop 202 by the Arizona State Board on Geographic and Historical Names (ASBGHN). It includes a statement of legislative intent, emphasizing that while the entire Loop 202 is being renamed, the underlying segments—specifically the Red Mountain Freeway, the Santan Freeway, and the Congressman Ed Pastor Freeway—will retain their original names and designations.
