ROADS/HIGHWAYS: Designates portions of certain highways. (8/1/24) (EN +$4,460 SG EX See Note)
This bill designates a specific stretch of United States Highway 51 in St. John the Baptist Parish as the "Arnold J. Labat Memorial Highway." The designated section runs between United States Highway 61 and Interstate 10. By officially naming this road, the legislation honors Arnold J. Labat, though it does not alter traffic rules or funding. The change is purely symbolic and applies only to the named portion of the highway within that parish.
