H.B. No. 1708 is a legislative act that designates a specific portion of State Highway 302 in Ector County as the "Trooper Kevin Ramirez Vasquez Memorial Highway." The designated section runs between its intersection with Farm-to-Market Road 2019 and the Ector-Winkler County line. The bill mandates the Texas Department of Transportation to design and construct markers that indicate this designation and to erect a marker at each end of the highway, as well as at appropriate intermediate sites along the route.

The act adds a new section, Section 225.246, to Subchapter B of Chapter 225 in the Transportation Code, which outlines the specifics of the highway designation and the responsibilities of the department regarding the markers. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the House and Senate with unanimous support.
