The bill S.B. No. 2597 proposes to designate a portion of Farm-to-Market Road 521 in Brazoria County as the "Clarence 'BB' Sasser Medal of Honor Highway." This designation is established by adding a new section, Section 225.243, to Subchapter B of Chapter 225 in the Transportation Code. The bill specifies that, notwithstanding existing regulations, this portion of the road will be officially recognized with appropriate markers.

Additionally, the Texas Department of Transportation is tasked with designing and constructing these markers, which will indicate the highway's new designation and provide any relevant information. The bill outlines that the department will also erect markers at suitable locations along the highway. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
