HB 1404 sets aside state funds from the Department of Transportation to cover costs for highway or bridge memorials honoring service members killed in action, as designated by bills passed during Tennessee's 2025 legislative session. It specifically allocates money for any bill or resolution naming an interstate, U.S. highway, or state highway as a memorial route or designating a bridge on those routes for fallen service members, per existing law (TCA §54-1-133). The bill also acknowledges potential revenue loss from future bills that reduce state revenue without increasing spending. It applies to the 2024-2025 fiscal years and takes effect upon enactment.
