Senate Bill 377 aims to enhance the visibility of the Brooklyn Area Veterans Memorial by requiring the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) to include its location on state highway maps. Currently, the law mandates that DOT identifies various veterans memorials, homes, and museums on these maps, and this bill specifically adds the Brooklyn Area Veterans Memorial to that list. The new legal language created by this bill is found in section 84.02 (5) (d) 2. r., which states that the memorial is located in the town of Brooklyn in Green County.

The bill will take effect for highway maps published after the effective date of the legislation, ensuring that future maps will reflect this addition. This initiative is supported by a bipartisan group of senators and representatives, highlighting the importance of recognizing and honoring veterans through increased public awareness of memorials dedicated to their service.
