The bill, H.B. No. 4731, proposes the designation of a portion of State Highway Loop 88 in Lubbock County as the "First Responders Memorial Loop." This designation applies specifically 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, 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 designation of the First Responders Memorial Loop, as well as to erect markers at appropriate locations along the loop. The bill also includes a provision to ensure that the new designations are renumbered to avoid any conflicts with existing provisions. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
