CHIEF WESTON MEMORIAL HGWY
This bill designates a specific section of Illinois Route 2 in Rockton as the "Chief Arthur L. Weston Memorial Highway" to honor Chief Arthur L. Weston, a police officer who died in the line of duty in 1977. The legislation requests that the Illinois Department of Transportation install signs at suitable locations to officially mark the highway with this new name. Copies of the resolution will be presented to Chief Weston's family and the Secretary of Transportation, while the bill itself serves as a commemorative measure rather than a change to traffic laws or funding.
