Senate Floor Bureau Note, #1004, Carter, Gary, Adopted → SB190 Act · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was finalized as an Enrolled Act, removing all Senate floor amendment text and replacing it with the official statutory language. The substantive content remains consistent, designating two specific highway segments as memorial highways and setting a funding threshold where the state will only cover sign costs if local or private donations match or exceed specific amounts ($550 and $1,680).

Scope change

The scope of the bill remains unchanged; it continues to designate specific highway segments in East Baton Rouge and St. Tammany Parishes as memorial highways.

TECHNICAL

Removed the header identifying the text as 'Senate Floor Amendments' and the list of individual amendment instructions.

Added the official 'Enrolled Act' status, including the full list of sponsoring legislators and the formal signature blocks for approval.

FISCAL

Converted amendment instructions into final statutory text that establishes specific funding thresholds ($550 for the Airline Highway sign and $1,680 for the Interstate 10 sign) where state costs are contingent on receiving equal local or private contributions.

SB190 Original → Senate Floor Bureau Note, #1004, Carter, Gary, Adopted · 2 edits

MINOR

The bill was amended to clarify the geographic description of the designated highway and to adjust the physical description of the route. These changes ensure the legal designation of the 'Jackson, Gerald, Garafola, Tullier Memorial Highway' is precise and avoids ambiguity regarding the specific segment of Airline Highway being honored.

Scope change

The scope of the designation was refined to use the term 'between' instead of 'from' and to include an 'overpass' in the route description, clarifying the exact boundaries of the memorial highway.

SCOPE

Changed the geographic description on page 2, line 2 from 'Parish, that extends from' to 'Parish between' to more accurately define the highway segment.

Modified page 2, line 3 to replace the word 'to' with 'and' after 'overpass', altering the physical description of the route.
