HB 666 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

HIGHWAYS/INTERSTATE: Redesignates a portion of United States Highway 190 as the "Jesse Jackson Memorial Highway"

HB 666 proposes renaming a 1.5-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 190 in Baton Rouge (between River Road and I-110) as the "Jesse Jackson Memorial Highway." The bill requires local or private funds to cover signage costs (up to $2,250 per sign) for the Department of Transportation to install. As a ceremonial renaming bill with no policy or funding changes, it directly affects the highway's official name and signage in East Baton Rouge Parish. The bill is currently in the prefiled stage with no further legislative action recorded.
