Relating to the designation of a portion of State Highway 315 in Panola County as the Hamby-Webb Memorial Highway.
HB 5577 designates a portion of State Highway 315 in Panola County as the "Hamby-Webb Memorial Highway" to commemorate two individuals (named in the bill's title). The bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation to install markers at both ends of the highway segment and at appropriate intermediate locations, including information about the memorial designation. This is a purely commemorative measure with no policy changes to transportation laws or funding. The bill does not directly affect any residents, businesses, or government programs, as it only alters highway signage. The designation will take effect September 1, 2025, if passed.
