Relating to: marking the Mississippi River Trail. (FE)

SB 551 requires Wisconsin's Department of Transportation (DOT) to install signs marking the Mississippi River Trail once municipalities along the route approve the trail's path. Specifically, the DOT must wait for each municipality to pass a resolution supporting the trail and confirming its route, then erect signs within 18 months of that approval date. The bill also allows the DOT to request supplemental funding for these signs without needing an emergency declaration, bypassing standard budget review rules. This procedural bill directly affects local municipalities (through approval requirements) and the DOT (through sign installation and funding processes), but does not change existing policies or impact residents directly.
