Committee Report (Unamended)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The bill author has informed the committee that renaming a portion of U.S. Highway 183 in Eastland County will honor the life and service of Deputy Sheriff David Bosecker, who was shot and killed in the line of duty. H.B. 3413 seeks to remember Deputy Sheriff Bosecker's life by providing for a memorial highway designation in his name.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution.

ANALYSIS

H.B. 3413 amends the Transportation Code to designate the portion of U.S. Highway 183 in Eastland County between its intersection with Farm-to-Market Road 2526 and its intersection with Farm-to-Market Road 2731 as the Deputy Sheriff David Bosecker Memorial Highway, in addition to any other designation. The bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation, subject to a grant or donation of funds, to do the following:

· design and construct markers indicating the designation as the Deputy Sheriff David Bosecker Memorial Highway and any other appropriate information; and

· erect a marker at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate sites along the highway.

The bill establishes the legislature's intent that the bill's provisions be renumbered to prevent multiple provisions with the same designation.
