Senate Bill No. 979 proposes the designation of the bridge on U.S. Highway 69 that crosses over West Main Street in Durant, Bryan County, as the Novak and Jean Bullard Memorial Bridge. The bill mandates that the Department of Transportation install suitable permanent markers to display this designation on the bridge. This new law will be codified as Section 1698.468 of Title 69 in the Oklahoma Statutes.

The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its approval by the Committee on Aeronautics and Transportation.
