MINOR

The bill was expanded from a single highway designation to include six specific transportation facilities across multiple Florida counties. This change broadens the scope of the legislation to honor various individuals and causes, including a memorial for a fallen soldier and a bridge named after a local figure. The Department of Transportation is now directed to erect markers for all six designated routes, not just the original one.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from a single facility in Baker County to six facilities across Baker, Escambia, Duval, Sarasota, and Broward counties.

SCOPE

Added designations for five new transportation facilities: Warrior Sacrifice Way in Escambia County, Bernard Wilkes Ribault River Bridge in Duval County, Dickey Betts Memorial Highway in Sarasota County, and Phil Smith Memorial Highway in Broward County.

REQUIREMENT

Updated the marker requirement to apply to all six designated facilities rather than just the original Crews Memorial Highway.

TECHNICAL

Revised the bill title and summary to reflect the multiple designations instead of a single facility.
