The bill proposes the designation of a segment of U.S. Highway 67, located in Dallas and Ellis Counties, as the "Eddie Bernice Johnson Memorial Highway." This designation will apply to the portion of the highway between its intersections with U.S. Highway 287 and Interstate Highway 20. The new legal language added to the Transportation Code includes provisions for the design and construction of markers that indicate this designation, as well as the requirement to erect a marker at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate sites.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that the Texas Department of Transportation will be responsible for implementing these markers, ensuring that the designation is recognized alongside any existing designations. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and it is noted that the provisions added by this act may be renumbered to avoid duplication in the law.
