  • Appropriates $25,000 from the state general fund to cover the costs of designing, constructing, and installing the memorial signage

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • The Department of Transportation will be responsible for the administrative tasks of installing and maintaining the memorial signage.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

HJR 82 was introduced in the state legislature on November 12, 2024 and swiftly passed both the House and Senate with bipartisan support. The governor signed the joint resolution into law on December 1, 2024, authorizing the memorial designation and appropriating the necessary funding.

The Department of Transportation is expected to complete the installation of the Don Dallenbach Memorial Highway signs within 6 months, ensuring the memorial is in place by the summer of 2025.
