ROADS/HIGHWAYS: Designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 93 in Lafayette Parish as the "Desert Shield-Desert Storm Memorial Highway". (8/1/26) (OR +$1,500 SG EX See Note)

SB 225 designates a 10-mile stretch of Louisiana Highway 93 in Lafayette Parish (from Wyman Road to Destination Point Lane) as the "Desert Shield-Desert Storm Memorial Highway" to honor veterans of those conflicts. The bill requires the state transportation department to install and maintain signs for the memorial highway only if local or private funds cover the department's actual costs for materials and installation, capped at $750 per sign. This is a procedural memorial designation with no new funding, infrastructure changes, or policy impacts beyond signage requirements. The bill is currently prefiled and awaiting committee referral.
