This bill designates several memorial bridges and highways in Kansas to honor individuals who have served their communities. Specifically, it establishes the Representative Robert M. Tomlinson memorial bridge on United States Highway 69 and 18th Street Expressway in Johnson County, the Don Snyder memorial bridge on Interstate 135 in Sedgwick County, the deputy Sam Smith memorial highway on a portion of Interstate 35, the undersheriff Brandon Gaede memorial highway on U.S. Highway 36, and the Pvt. Michael E. Gerber memorial highway on K-49 highway. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Transportation place suitable signs to indicate these designations upon compliance with existing laws.

Additionally, the bill amends K.S.A. 68-1013 to redefine the section of Interstate 35 designated as the 35th Infantry Division Memorial Highway, removing the previous language that referred to it as "federal-interstate highway No. 35 which traverses the state." The existing section of K.S.A. 68-1013 is repealed, streamlining the legal language related to these memorial designations. The act will take effect following its publication in the statute book.
