Senate Bill No. SLS 26RS-368, introduced by Senator Abraham, designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 384 in Cameron Parish as the "Daniel Edward Didelot Memorial Highway." The bill outlines the specific section of the highway to be designated, starting at Big Diamond Disposal Road and extending to N. Precht Road. Additionally, it includes a provision for a similar designation for a portion of Louisiana Highway 436 in Washington Parish, beginning at Louisiana Highway 21 and extending to E. Old Columbia Road.
The bill mandates the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to erect and maintain appropriate signage for these designations, contingent upon the receipt of local or private funds that cover the department's actual costs for materials and installation, with a cap of $750 per sign. The effective date for this legislation is set for August 1, 2026. Notably, the bill underwent amendments that changed the designated parish from Calcasieu to Cameron and added the highway designation for Washington Parish.
