House Bill No. by Representative McMahen designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 163, specifically from Green Tree Street to Watson Road in Doyline, Louisiana, as the "Sergeant William Highway." This bill aims to honor Sergeant William by officially naming this section of the highway after him.
Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to erect and maintain appropriate signage that reflects this new designation. However, the implementation of this signage is contingent upon the receipt of local or private funds that cover the DOTD's actual costs for materials, fabrication, mounting posts, and installation, with a maximum expenditure of $750 per sign.
