Senate Bill No. by Senator Kleinpeter designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 977 in Pointe Coupee Parish as "The Falcons Band Highway." The designated section begins at the parish line between Pointe Coupee and Iberville parishes and extends through Pointe Coupee Parish, ending at the intersection of Maringouin Road West.
The bill also mandates the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to erect and maintain appropriate signage for this designation, contingent upon the receipt of local or private funds that cover the department's actual costs for materials, fabrication, mounting posts, and installation. The total cost for each sign is capped at seven hundred fifty dollars. This legislation is set to take effect on August 1, 2026.
