ROADS/HIGHWAYS: Designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 1064 in Tangipahoa Parish as the "Rev. Alfred L. Hart Memorial Highway". (8/1/24) (EN +$1,100 SG EX See Note)

Maddy summaryThis bill designates a specific stretch of Louisiana Highway 1064 in Tangipahoa Parish as the "Rev. Alfred L. Hart Memorial Highway" to honor Reverend Alfred L. Hart. The legislation requires the Department of Transportation and Development to install signs for this designation, but only if local or private funds cover the actual costs of materials and installation, with a limit of $550 per sign. By tying the sign installation to external funding, the bill ensures that the state does not bear the financial burden of creating the memorial markers.
