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 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 and to erect these markers at both ends of the highway as well as 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 provisions added by this Act to be renumbered to avoid duplication.
