Assembly Bill 562 aims to establish a process for marking the Mississippi River Trail in Wisconsin. The bill mandates that the Department of Transportation (DOT) must notify the Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB) once all municipalities along the Great River Road have approved a resolution supporting the trail and confirmed its route. Following this notification, the LRB is required to publish a notice in the administrative register. The DOT is then obligated to procure and erect signs marking the trail within 18 months of the published date.

Additionally, the bill allows the DOT to request supplemental funding from the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) for the sign procurement and erection without the need for the committee to declare an emergency. This provision aims to streamline the funding process for the trail signage, ensuring timely implementation of the project.
