MINOR

The bill was amended to add five new street and bridge designations across Florida counties, replacing one existing bridge designation. The original provision naming the Bernard Wilkes Ribault River Bridge was removed, while new designations were added for Geraldine Thompson Way, Harry Frisch Street, Jose Wejebe Bridge, Celia Cruz Way, Toussaint L'Ouverture Boulevard, and Sonia Castro Way. This expansion increases the number of transportation facilities receiving official naming honors.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded from naming one bridge to naming six transportation facilities (five street designations and one bridge) across multiple counties including Duval, Orange, Miami-Dade, and Monroe.

SCOPE

Added five new street and bridge designations in Orange, Duval, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties

Removed the original designation for the Bernard Wilkes Ribault River Bridge in Duval County

REQUIREMENT

Updated the Department of Transportation's marker requirement to apply to all six facilities instead of just the single bridge
