Summary
House Bill 2029 designates a portion of K‑5 as the Marvin S. Robinson Memorial Highway and redesignates a portion of the Harry Darby Memorial Highway along I‑635; proponents praised Robinson’s preservation work for the Quindaro ruins.
House Bill 2029 was reported favorably by the Committee of the Whole after floor explanation and statements of support.
