The bill, H.B. No. 227, proposes the designation of a segment 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 bill specifies that, despite existing regulations, this portion of the road will carry the new designation, honoring Clarence "BB" Sasser for his contributions.
Additionally, the bill mandates the Texas Department of Transportation to design and construct markers that indicate this designation and to erect these markers at suitable locations along the highway. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
