HB 167 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

HIGHWAYS: Designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 3188 as the "Veterans Memorial Highway"

HB 167 designates a specific 1.5-mile stretch of Louisiana Highway 3188 in LaPlace (from I-10 to US Highway 61) as the "Veterans Memorial Highway." This procedural bill does not create new policies but formally names the highway segment to honor veterans. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to install signage if local or private funds cover the costs (up to $550 per sign), but it does not mandate state funding for the signs. The measure is purely ceremonial and affects no new regulations or programs.

HB167 Original → HB167 Act · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was finalized and approved into law, changing its status from a draft proposal to an enrolled act. The text was corrected to fix a spelling error, changing 'Laplace' to 'LaPlace' and adding necessary commas for grammatical correctness. Additionally, the digest section, which summarizes the bill's intent, was removed as it is not part of the final legal text.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains unchanged; it still designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 3188 in LaPlace as the 'Veterans Memorial Highway'.

TECHNICAL

Corrected the spelling of the city name from 'Laplace' to 'LaPlace' and added commas for proper sentence structure.

Removed the 'Digest' section, which is a non-binding summary prepared by legislative services and is not part of the final law.

ENFORCEMENT

Added official signatures and approval stamps from the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Governor, indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is now an enforceable law.
