Donald J. Trump highway
This bill, which failed in March 2025, would have renamed Arizona's State Route 260 as the "Donald J. Trump Highway" and required the State Board on Geographic and Historic Names to install corresponding signage. It is a commemorative resolution (not a policy bill) directly affecting Arizona's transportation infrastructure by changing the official name of a specific highway. The bill included extensive justifications for the naming but contained no substantive policy changes or new regulations. The proposed action was purely symbolic, seeking to honor former President Trump through a highway designation.
