Bill No. 41, introduced by Senators Burns and West, designates the bridge over the Kiamichi River on U.S. Highway 259, located approximately half a mile south of the State Highway 63 intersection in Le Flore County, as the PFC Lewis Othel Branscum Memorial Bridge. The bill mandates that the Department of Transportation install suitable permanent markers on the bridge to reflect this designation.

This new law will be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1698.468 of Title 69. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage in the Senate on February 24, 2025.
