AB144,1,2
1An Act to create 84.1021 of the statutes;
relating to: designating and marking
2a portion of STH 19 as the Georgia O'Keeffe Memorial 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 or
events. This bill directs the Department of Transportation to designate and, upon
receipt of sufficient contributions from interested parties, mark the route of STH 19
in this state from Sun Prairie to Marshall as the "Georgia O'Keeffe Memorial
Highway" in recognition of the artistic contributions and accomplishments of
Georgia O'Keeffe, who was born in the town of Sun Prairie in 1887. No state funds,
other than from contributions from interested parties, may be used for the erection
or maintenance of any markers on STH 19 to identify that portion of the highway as
the "Georgia O'Keeffe 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
