S.B. No. 1895 designates a portion of State Highway Loop 88 in Lubbock County as the "First Responders Memorial Loop." This designation applies to the section of the highway that is under construction as of September 1, 2025, and is intended to honor first responders. The bill adds a new section, Section 225.243, to the Transportation Code, which outlines the responsibilities of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) regarding this designation.
Under the new section, TxDOT is required to design and construct markers that indicate the designation of the First Responders Memorial Loop and provide any other relevant information. Additionally, the department must erect markers at appropriate locations along the loop. The bill emphasizes that this designation is supplementary to any existing designations and is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
