Allows federally or state-chartered veterans service organizations to apply for honorary road signs for fallen service members.
The Heroes Way Designation Program Act permits any federally-chartered or state-chartered veterans service organization to apply for designation of an honorary road sign for any member of the United States Armed Forces who was killed in action, if no eligible family member is available. The Illinois Department of Transportation will notify the sponsor upon approval or denial of a proposed designation. Upon approval, the petitioner must submit a fee to cover the costs of constructing and maintaining the signs.
