Designating a portion of U.S. highway 36 as the deputy sheriff Brandon Gaede memorial highway.

SB 312 designates a segment of U.S. Highway 36 within Phillipsburg (from its eastern to western city limits) as the "Deputy Sheriff Brandon Gaede Memorial Highway" to honor the Phillips County deputy who died in the line of duty in 2025. The bill requires the Kansas Department of Transportation to install official commemorative signage along this highway segment per state transportation laws. This is a ceremonial designation with no policy changes or funding impacts.
