IN RE: | HB3070 by Simpson (Relating to the designation of U.S. Highway 80 as a historic highway.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend the Government Code to require the Texas Historical Commission (THC) to cooperate with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to designate, interpret, and market the portion of U.S. Highway 80 in Gregg and Upshur Counties as a Texas historic highway. The bill would authorize TxDOT and THC to pursue federal funds dedicated to highway enhancement for the project. The bill would specify that TxDOT is not required to construct or erect a highway marker under the provisions of the bill unless a grant or donation of funds is made to cover the costs.
