The bill, S.B. No. 1351, proposes the designation of a segment of U.S. Highway 281 in Hidalgo County as the "Jose Rodriguez-Lua Memorial Highway." This designation will apply to the portion of the highway located between its intersections with Farm-to-Market Road 493 and Farm-to-Market Road 88. The bill adds a new section, Section 225.243, to the Transportation Code, which outlines the designation and states that it is in addition to any other existing designations.

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 a marker at each end of the designated segment and at appropriate intermediate locations. The provisions of this Act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
