HIGHWAYS: Redesignates the elevated portion of Interstate 220 in Caddo Parish as the "American Legion Post No. 14 Memorial Bridge"
HB 130 redesignates a specific stretch of Interstate 220 in Shreveport (from South Lakeshore Drive to Hilry Huckaby III Avenue in Caddo Parish) as "American Legion Post No. 14." It requires the Department of Transportation to install signage for this designation if local funds cover costs up to $2,250 per sign. This is a ceremonial renaming with no substantive policy changes, solely honoring the American Legion Post.

MODERATE
The bill was enrolled and enacted into law, expanding the scope to include a new designation for a portion of Louisiana Highway 173 as the 'Dr. Harry Blake, Sr. Memorial Highway' in addition to the existing redesignation of Interstate 220. The bill was also amended to add a second sponsor, Representative Chassion, and the text was updated to reflect the official Act number 124. The core policy regarding the memorial names and signage funding requirements remains substantively the same.
