Senate Bill No. 159 designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 17 in Franklin Parish as the "Sergeant Rogelio 'Roy' Gonzalez, Jr. Memorial Highway." The designated section begins at the intersection of Louisiana Highway 17 and Lawson Road and ends at Louisiana Highway 4. 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, with a cap of $750 per sign.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that allows for the designation of the highway despite any conflicting laws. It aims to honor Sergeant Rogelio "Roy" Gonzalez, Jr. and ensure that the memorial signage is properly funded and maintained. The effective date for this designation is set for August 1, 2026.
