Highway Recognition Amendments
HB 322 designates a specific stretch of SR-198 in Utah County as the "Gail S. Halvorsen Memorial Highway," running from SR-164 in Spanish Fork south to the boundary between Spanish Fork and Salem cities. The bill requires the Utah Department of Transportation to update highway maps and install signage to reflect this new name. It does not involve funding, regulations, or changes to traffic laws, making it a purely commemorative designation. The change takes effect on May 6, 2026, honoring Gail S. Halvorsen through the highway name. This bill affects no specific individuals or entities beyond the highway signage and map updates.
