MINOR

This bill was finalized into an Act, changing its status from a draft proposal to an enrolled law. The primary substantive change is the addition of numerous co-sponsors to the bill, expanding the group of legislators supporting the designation of a section of Louisiana Highway 1 as the 'Officer Marc Brock Memorial Highway'. The core policy action remains the same: directing the Department of Transportation and Development to erect and maintain signs for this memorial.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding the highway designation and sign requirements remains unchanged; however, the legislative support base was expanded by adding Representatives Adams, Bacala, Bamburg, Boudreaux, Boyer, Chassion, Chenvert, Crews, Green, Dana Henry, Horton, Jackson, Lacombe, Terry Landry, Larvadin, McCormick, McMahan, McMakin, Melerine, Miller, Murray, Owen, Sawyer, Schamerhorn, and Walters to the original sponsor.

ELIGIBILITY

Added a large number of Representatives as co-sponsors to the bill, indicating broader legislative consensus or support for the memorial highway designation.

TECHNICAL

Updated the document header to reflect that the bill has been enrolled as Act No. 204, signifying it has passed both chambers and been signed by the Governor.

Changed the digest section to list the Speaker of the House of Representatives instead of the original Senate Legislative Services preparation note, consistent with the enrolled status.
