AN ACT to create and enact a new section to chapter 24-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to designating the overpass on United States highway 52 as the S/Sgt. Miles Shelley WWII overpass; to provide a continuing appropriation; and to declare an emergency.
House Bill No. 1092 proposes to designate the overpass on United States Highway 52 in Carrington, North Dakota, as the S/Sgt. Miles Shelley WWII overpass. The bill mandates the Department of Transportation to place appropriate signage along the highway to commemorate this designation. Additionally, it allows the department to accept donations for the creation and installation of these signs, which will be funded through a continuing appropriation from any donated funds.
