This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 24-01 of the North Dakota Century Code to officially designate the bridge on state highway 18 as the "Specialist 4 Richard W. Orsund Vietnam bridge." The North Dakota Department of Transportation is tasked with placing signs along the highway to reflect this designation. Additionally, the department is authorized to accept donations for the signs, and any funds received will be appropriated on a continuing basis for this purpose.

The bill also includes a declaration of emergency, indicating that it is intended to take effect immediately upon passage. This measure honors Specialist 4 Richard W. Orsund, a Vietnam veteran, by ensuring that the bridge is recognized and memorialized in the state’s infrastructure.
