What This Bill Proposed

The bill requires the California Department of Transportation to install memorial signage only after receiving sufficient private donations to cover all associated costs.

This measure establishes a permanent public memorial for a fallen officer while ensuring that the financial burden for signage falls on private donors rather than state taxpayers.

Directly affected
