Senate Bill No. 160 designates a portion of United States Highway 171 in Sabine Parish as the "Joe R. Salter Memorial Highway." The designated area begins at the northernmost village limit of Florien and extends south to the southernmost village limit. This bill aims to honor Joe R. Salter by providing a formal recognition through the naming of this highway.
Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to erect and maintain appropriate signage for this designation. However, the installation of the signs is contingent upon the receipt of local or private funds that cover the actual costs incurred by the department, with a maximum limit of $750 per sign. The effective date for this designation is set for August 1, 2026.
