The bill, H.B. No. 227, proposes to designate a portion of Farm-to-Market Road 521 in Brazoria County as the "Clarence 'BB' Sasser Medal of Honor Highway." This designation is formalized by adding Section 225.243 to Subchapter B, Chapter 225 of the Transportation Code. The new section specifies that, despite existing regulations, this portion of the road will carry the honorific title, and it outlines the responsibilities of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in relation to this designation.

Under the new provisions, TxDOT is tasked with designing and constructing markers that indicate the highway's designation and provide any relevant information. Additionally, the department is required to erect these markers at appropriate locations along the highway. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
