This bill designates a specific portion of Louisiana Highway 171, located in Leesville, Louisiana, as the "Claude 'Buddy' Leach Memorial Highway." The designated area extends from the intersection of Highway 171 and Boone Street to East Louisiana Street. This memorial designation honors Claude 'Buddy' Leach and aims to recognize his contributions or significance to the community.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Transportation and Development, or its contractors, are responsible for erecting and maintaining appropriate signage that reflects this new designation. However, this action is contingent upon the receipt of local or private funds that cover the department's actual costs for the materials, fabrication, mounting posts, and installation of each sign, with a maximum expenditure of five hundred fifty dollars per sign.
