on Transportation.
AB740,1,3 1An Act to create 84.10216 of the statutes; relating to: designating and marking
2a portion of STH 27 in Rusk and Sawyer counties as the Willis J. Hutnik
3Memorial Highway.
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 STH 27 in Rusk and Sawyer counties as the "Willis J. Hutnik Memorial Highway"
in recognition and appreciation of the public service of Willis J. Hutnik, who
represented this area with distinction in the Wisconsin assembly from the 1953
legislative session to the 1969 legislative session. No state funds, other than from
contributions from interested parties, may be used for the erection or maintenance
of any markers on STH 27 to identify the highway as the "Willis J. Hutnik Memorial
Highway."
For further information see the state 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
enact as follows:
