HB 1212 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

AN ACT to create and enact a new section to chapter 24-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to designating a portion of state highway 18 as the PFC. Henry Gurke memorial highway; and to provide a continuing appropriation.

HB 1212 designates a specific segment of North Dakota State Highway 18 - from its intersection with Highway 5 to the Canadian border - as the "PFC. Henry Gurke Memorial Highway." The bill requires the state Department of Transportation to install signs along this route bearing the memorial name and allows acceptance of donated funds for sign placement. This is a purely ceremonial bill with no substantive policy changes, affecting only the highway signage in that corridor.
