H.B. No. 3302 proposes to designate a portion of Farm-to-Market Road 852 in Upshur County as the "Petty Officer Billy Machen Bridge." The bill adds a new section, Section 225.243, to the Transportation Code, which specifies that the bridge crossing Lake Gilmer will carry this designation. This designation is intended to be in addition to any other existing designations for the bridge.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the Texas Department of Transportation to design and construct markers that indicate the bridge's new designation and to erect a marker at each end of the bridge. The provisions of this Act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and it is noted that the 89th Legislature intends for these provisions to be renumbered to avoid any conflicts with existing designations.
