FANNIE JONES MEMORIAL HGHWY
This bill designates a specific stretch of Illinois Route 15 in East St. Louis as the "Fannie Gwendolyn Jones Memorial Highway." The legislation directly affects the state's transportation system by officially naming the road segment from its current location to its intersection with Interstate 64. The key mechanism is a formal declaration that updates the official title of this roadway to honor Fannie Gwendolyn Jones. This change is purely commemorative and does not alter traffic rules, funding, or physical infrastructure.
