Memorial highways; designate segment of MS Hwy 19 South in Neshoba County as the "MSgt. Bridgette R. Horn Memorial Highway."
HB 854 is a commemorative bill that would have named a one-mile segment of Mississippi Highway 19 South in Neshoba County as the "MSgt. Bridgette R. Horn Memorial Highway," specifically the section north of the Neshoba-Newton County line extending to County Road 709. The bill required the Mississippi Department of Transportation to install signs with the memorial date (November 19, 2020, the "End of Watch" date for MSgt. Horn) along the designated highway segment. This bill died in committee on March 7, 2025, and did not become law. It directly affects the public through highway signage but does not create new policy or regulations.
