The bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 24-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, designating state highway 200 as the "North Dakota fallen peace officers memorial highway." This designation will cover the stretch of highway from the Minnesota border to the Montana border, with the Department of Transportation responsible for placing appropriate signage along the route. Additionally, the department is tasked with consulting the families and associates of fallen peace officers and canine officers to memorialize individual officers by designating up to one mile of the highway in their honor.
Furthermore, the bill allows the department to accept donations for the placement of these memorial signs, with any funds received being appropriated on a continuing basis for this purpose. This initiative aims to honor the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers in North Dakota and ensure their memory is preserved along a significant state highway.
