Designating a portion of I-35 as the deputy Sam Smith memorial highway and redesignating a current portion of the 35th infantry division memorial highway for I-35.

This bill (HB 2471) renames two sections of Kansas' Interstate 35 highway. It designates the I-35 segment from the northern junction with US Highway 59 to Eisenhower Road as the "Deputy Sam Smith Memorial Highway" and redirects the existing "35th Infantry Division Memorial Highway" designation to cover the I-35 route from the Kansas-Missouri border to the Kansas-Oklahoma border. The bill amends Kansas law to update the official highway names and requires the state transportation secretary to install appropriate signage. As a naming bill, it has no policy impact beyond changing official highway designations.
