The bill designates a segment of marked Trunk Highway 23 in Kandiyohi County as the "Sergeant Joshua A. Schmit Memorial Highway." This designation is formalized by amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 161.14, to include a new subdivision specifically for this purpose. The designated segment runs from the interchange with marked U.S. Highway 71 north of Willmar to Lake Avenue South in Spicer.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the commissioner of transportation must adopt a suitable design to mark this highway and erect appropriate signs, in accordance with section 161.139. This act serves to honor Sergeant Joshua A. Schmit and ensure that his memory is recognized within the community.
