H.B. No. 2198 proposes to designate a specific section of State Highway 34 in Kaufman County as the "Officer Jacob Candanoza Memorial Highway." The bill adds a new section, 225.243, to the Transportation Code, which outlines the boundaries of the designated highway as the portion between its intersection with Kings Creek Drive and its intersection with North Frances Street. This designation is intended to be in addition to any other existing designations for the highway.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the Texas Department of Transportation to design and construct markers that indicate the highway's new designation, as well as to erect these markers at both ends of the highway and at appropriate intermediate locations. The provisions of this Act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and it is noted that the 89th Legislature intends for any new provisions added by this Act to be renumbered to avoid duplication.
