A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5050 AS INTRODUCED 10-26-99
House Bill 5050 would create a new act to regulate the cost of placing signs and markers that honor individuals or organizations.
Specifically, under the bill, a road agency could only provide for the erection of signs or markers whose purpose it is to name or rename a highway, street, or road (or a portion of a highway, street, or road) in honor of an individual or organization, if sufficient private contributions were received to completely cover the cost. House Bill 5050 would define "road agency" to mean the state transportation department, a county road commission (or the county road executive or other agency acting as the county road commission), or a city or village that has jurisdiction over a highway, street, or road.
