1An Act to create 84.1023 of the statutes;
relating to: designating and marking
2STH 57 as the 57th Field Artillery Brigade 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, groups,
or events. This bill directs the Department of Transportation to designate and, upon
receipt of sufficient contributions from interested parties, mark the entire route of
STH 57 as the "57th Field Artillery Brigade Memorial Highway" to honor the
members of the 57th Field Artillery Brigade of the Wisconsin national guard, also
known as the "Iron Brigade," who have bravely served their country with pride,
distinction, sacrifice, devotion, and honor since World War I, including deployment
to Afghanistan. No state funds, other than from contributions from interested
parties, may be used for the erection or maintenance of any markers on STH 57 to
identify the highway as the "57th Field Artillery Brigade 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
