SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

SJM 29 requests that the Secretary of Highway and Transportation Department designate State Highway 264 as “Code Talker Memorial highway”

Significant Issues

State Highway 264 was memorialized by the State Highway Commission as the “Code Talkers Highway” in May 1998. The Navajo Nation initially made this request in February 1998 along with a pledge to design, install and maintain the signage.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

If the State Highway Department were to be required to sign State Highway 264 as the Code Talker Memorial Highway the cost would be minimal, possibly $10.0 or less. The Department would need to place signs at the beginning and end of the Highway in both directions. The signs would cost $1.0-$2.0 per sign.
