HB 1218 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

HIGHWAYS: Designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 1090 as the "Louis 'Pat' Miramon Memorial Highway"

This bill designates a specific stretch of Louisiana Highway 1090 in Slidell as the 'Louis 'Pat' Miramon Memorial Highway' to honor an individual. The law requires the Department of Transportation and Development to install signs marking this designation, but only if local or private funds cover the full cost of materials and installation. The bill does not change traffic rules or funding sources, as it relies on outside contributions to pay for the signage.
