Relating to the designation of a portion of U.S. Highway 69 in Smith County as the Veterans Memorial Highway.
HB 2914 designates a specific segment of U.S. Highway 69 in Smith County - from its intersection with South State Loop 323 to the northern municipal limits of Bullard - as the "Veterans Memorial Highway." The bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation to install markers at both ends of the route and at appropriate intermediate points to indicate the designation. This is a symbolic, commemorative measure with no substantive policy changes or funding impacts. It does not affect any existing laws or regulations beyond the highway signage.
