            House Bill 2859 amends the Transportation Code to require the Texas Transportation Commission by rule to establish and administer a memorial sign program to publicly memorialize the victims of alcohol or controlled substance-related vehicle accidents.  The bill requires the Department of Transportation to establish an application process and a fee for the placement of a memorial sign, specifies items to be included on a sign, and sets out criteria for the replacement of a damaged sign.  The bill provides for a memorial sign to remain posted for one year and then be returned to the applicant.
