AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes renaming a specific segment of marked Trunk Highway 23 in Kandiyohi County, Minnesota, as the Joshua Schmidt Memorial Highway. The segment to be renamed extends from its intersection with U.S. Highway 71 north of Willmar to Lake Avenue South in Spicer. The bill would require the addition of this designation to the Minnesota Statutes, specifically section 161.14, under a new subdivision. Following this designation, the commissioner is tasked with adopting a suitable design for highway markers and erecting appropriate signs to reflect the new name. This change honors an individual named Joshua Schmidt, although the bill does not specify his contributions or why this particular highway segment is chosen for the memorial.
