AB106,1,3 An Act to create 84.1023 of the statutes; relating to: designating and marking a bridge on STH 156 in the town of Navarino as the Avery Wilber Memorial Bridge.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain highway routes and bridges have been designated and marked to memorialize, commemorate, or recognize certain individuals, groups, or events. This bill directs the Department of Transportation to designate and, upon receipt of sufficient contributions from interested parties, mark the planned STH 156 bridge across the Shioc River in the town of Navarino as the "Avery Wilber Memorial Bridge" as a living memorial to and in honor of a World War II hero. No state funds, other than from contributions from interested parties, may be used for the erection or maintenance of any marker to identify the bridge as the "Avery Wilber Memorial Bridge."

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
