J. CLAUSSEN MEMORIAL HIGHWAY

This bill (SJR 3) is a commemorative resolution designating a 2-mile stretch of Illinois Route 3 between mile markers 20 and 22 near Rockwood as the "1LT James F. Claussen Memorial Highway." It honors First Lieutenant James F. Claussen, a WWII pilot who died in action during Operation Varsity in 1945, and directs the Illinois Department of Transportation to install appropriate signage along this highway segment. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally commemorates Claussen's service and sacrifice through highway naming.
