A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the designation of a portion of U.S. Highway 67 in

Dallas and Ellis Counties as the Eddie Bernice Johnson Memorial

Highway.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Subchapter B, Chapter 225, Transportation Code,

is amended by adding Section 225.243 to read as follows:

Sec. 225.243. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY. (a)

The portion of U.S. Highway 67 in Dallas and Ellis Counties between

its intersection with U.S. Highway 287 and its intersection with

Interstate Highway 20 is designated as the Eddie Bernice Johnson

Memorial Highway. The designation is in addition to any other

designation.

(b) Subject to Section 225.021(c), the department shall:

(1) design and construct markers indicating the

designation as the Eddie Bernice Johnson Memorial Highway and any

other appropriate information; and

(2) erect a marker at each end of the highway and at

appropriate intermediate sites along the highway.

SECTION 2. It is the intention of the 89th Legislature,

Regular Session, 2025, that the provisions added by this Act be

renumbered to prevent multiple provisions with the same

designation.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
