The bill requires transportation officials to install ceremonial signage identifying the byway but explicitly states this is non-binding - official highway names remain unchanged. The dedication is purely symbolic, with no alteration to road designations or traffic operations.

The change applies statewide, though counties that previously enforced stricter closing times can still maintain their rules unless they choose to adopt the new extended hours. Additionally, the law permits these businesses to serve alcohol up to 30 minutes after the official start of the prohibited sale hours.
