SB1931

TxDOT must design and construct markers bearing the memorial name and other appropriate information, and place markers at both ends and appropriate intermediate sites, subject to the existing grant-or-donation funding condition.

The act adds Section 225.243 as numbered in the enrolled bill and directs renumbering to prevent duplicate statutory numbers. It does not rename all of U.S. Highway 83 or authorize a new road-construction project. Final law, Sections 1–2.
