HB 174 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

BRIDGES/FERRIES: Designates the bridge located on U.S. 167 in Winn Parish as the "Clayton Horne Memorial Bridge"

HB 174 designates a specific bridge on U.S. 167 in Winn Parish as the "Clayton Horne Memorial Bridge." This bill directly affects the location of the bridge and honors Clayton Horne through its official name. The bill contains no substantive policy changes or funding mechanisms - it solely updates the bridge's official designation. Amendments clarify the reference to the highway as "United States Highway 167" but do not alter the memorial purpose. As a naming resolution, it has no operational or financial impact beyond the ceremonial designation.

MINOR

This bill was converted from an original draft to an enrolled act, meaning it has been approved by the legislature and the governor. The substantive policy content remains the same, designating a specific bridge in Winn Parish as the 'Clayton Horne Memorial Bridge' and directing the Department of Transportation and Development to install signage at a cost of up to $550 per sign.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability are unchanged; it still applies only to the specific bridge on U.S. 167 in Winn Parish.

TECHNICAL

The bill format was updated from an original draft to an enrolled act, including adding the full list of sponsoring legislators, changing the header to 'ACT No. 13', and removing the legislative digest.

Minor wording adjustments were made to standardize the description of the highway from 'U.S. 167' to 'United States Highway 167' in the act text.

Approval signatures from the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Governor were added to indicate the bill has become law.
