This bill proposes several honorary designations for transportation facilities across various counties in Florida. It includes the designation of specific highways and bridges in honor of individuals who have made significant contributions or sacrifices, such as Master Patrol Officer Jesse Madsen and Sergeant Elio Diaz. The Department of Transportation is tasked with erecting suitable markers to commemorate these designations. Additionally, the bill amends a previous law to revise the designation of a portion of U.S. 27/S.R. 25 in Highlands County to honor Deputy William Gentry, Jr., with the term "Memorial" being added to the designation.
The bill also includes a directive for the Department of Transportation to ensure that appropriate markers are installed for all designated facilities. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to honor the memory of individuals who have served their communities and to provide a lasting tribute through the naming of transportation infrastructure.
