The bill, S.B. No. 1229, proposes the designation of a specific segment of U.S. Highway 69 in Smith County as the Veterans Memorial Highway. This designation will apply to the portion of the highway that lies between its intersection with South State Loop 323 and the northern municipal limits of Bullard. The bill stipulates that this designation is in addition to any other existing designations for the highway.

To implement this designation, the Texas Department of Transportation is tasked with designing and constructing markers that indicate the highway's new designation, as well as providing any other relevant information. Additionally, the department is required to erect a marker at both ends of the designated highway segment and at suitable intermediate locations along the route. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
