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 a portion of the route
of USH 12 in the city of Whitewater as the "Stephen Ambrose Memorial Highway"
in recognition and appreciation of the significant scholastic and literary
accomplishments of American historian Stephen Ambrose, who spent much of his
early life in the city of Whitewater, began his academic career by attending the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, and has deep roots in south central Wisconsin.
No state funds, other than from contributions from interested parties, may be used
for the erection or maintenance of any markers on USH 12 to identify the highway
as the "Stephen Ambrose Memorial Highway."
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
