H.B. No. 2914 proposes to designate a specific section 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 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 along the route.
The bill adds a new section, Section 225.243, to Subchapter B of Chapter 225 in the Transportation Code, which outlines the specifics of the designation and the responsibilities of the department. Additionally, it states that this designation is supplementary to any other existing designations for the highway. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and includes a provision for renumbering to avoid multiple provisions with the same designation.
