The bill, S.B. No. 682, proposes to designate a specific section of Farm-to-Market Road 2493 in Smith County as the "Captain Kevin Williams and Firefighter Austin Cheek Memorial Highway." This designation applies to the portion of the road between its intersection with Church Street in Flint and its intersection with County Road 150. The bill includes provisions for the Texas Department of Transportation to design and construct markers that indicate this designation, as well as to erect a marker at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate locations.
The new legal language added to the Transportation Code under Section 225.243 outlines the specifics of the highway designation and the responsibilities of the department regarding the signage. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
