The bill, H.B. No. 1708, proposes to designate a specific section of State Highway 302 in Ector County as the "Trooper Kevin Ramirez Vasquez Memorial Highway." This designation applies to the portion of the highway located between its intersection with Farm-to-Market Road 2019 and the Ector-Winkler County line. 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 sites.

The new legal language added to the Transportation Code under Section 225.243 outlines the responsibilities of the department regarding the memorialization of Trooper Kevin Ramirez Vasquez. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
