Assembly Bill 887 mandates the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) to include the Platteville Veterans Memorial in Grant County on state highway maps. This addition is part of the existing requirement for DOT to identify veterans memorials, homes, and museums on highway service maps and folded highway maps. The specific legal language created by this bill is found in section 84.02 (5) (d) 2. r., which explicitly states the inclusion of the Platteville Veterans Memorial.
The bill will take effect for highway maps published after the effective date of the legislation, ensuring that future maps will reflect this new identification. This initiative aims to honor and recognize the contributions of veterans by making their memorials more visible to the public.
