The bill, S.B. No. 1408, proposes the designation of a segment of U.S. Highway 287 in Wilbarger County as the "Molly Mullens Memorial Highway." This designation will apply to the portion of the highway located between its intersection with County Road 111 and County Road 132 East. The bill adds a new section, Section 225.243, to Subchapter B, Chapter 225 of the Transportation Code, which outlines the specifics of this 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 highway and at appropriate intermediate locations. The bill also includes a provision that the newly added sections may be renumbered to avoid duplication of designations. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
