Senate Bill 875, introduced by Senator Marklein and co-sponsored by Representatives Tranel and Novak, aims to enhance the visibility of the Platteville Veterans Memorial by requiring the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) to include its location on state highway maps. Current law mandates that DOT identifies various veterans memorials, highways, and bridges on these maps, and this bill specifically adds the Platteville Veterans Memorial to that list.

The bill creates a new statute, 84.02 (5) (d) 2. r., which explicitly states that the Platteville Veterans Memorial, located in the city of Platteville in Grant County, must be marked on highway service maps and folded highway maps published by the DOT. The provisions of this act will take effect for highway maps published after the bill's effective date.
