S.B. No. 2790 designates a portion of U.S. Highway 67 in Dallas and Ellis Counties as the Eddie Bernice Johnson Memorial Highway. This designation applies to the segment of the highway between its intersections with U.S. Highway 287 and Interstate Highway 20. The bill adds a new section, Section 225.276, to the Transportation Code, which outlines the responsibilities of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in relation to this designation. Specifically, TxDOT is required to design and construct markers that indicate the highway's new designation and to erect these markers at both ends of the highway and at appropriate intermediate locations.
The bill also includes a provision that the 89th Legislature intends for the newly added provisions to be renumbered to avoid any duplication of designations. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
