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 in Green County to that list.

The bill introduces new legal language by creating a specific section in the statutes, 84.02 (5) (d) 2. r., which explicitly states that the Brooklyn Area Veterans Memorial is to be identified on the highway maps. The provisions of this act will apply to highway maps published after its effective date, ensuring that the memorial is recognized in future publications.
