This bill designates a portion of United States Highway 75 as the Brig Gen George H Wark Memorial Highway, specifically from its southern junction with United States Highway 166 in Montgomery County to the Kansas-Oklahoma border. The Secretary of Transportation is tasked with placing appropriate signage along this highway to indicate its new designation. Additionally, the bill amends K.S.A. Supp. 68-1051 to redesignate a current portion of the highway as the Purple Heart/Combat Wounded Veterans Highway, with the new designation extending from the Kansas-Nebraska border to the southern city limits of Holton.
Furthermore, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 68-1051 and updates the language to reflect the new designations. It also specifies that the Secretary of Transportation may accept donations to assist in obtaining suitable signage. The act will take effect upon its publication in the Kansas Register, replacing the previous requirement for publication in the statute book.
