Representative Lightner testified in favor of House Bill 5089, describing it as "a super easy" measure to designate three separate segments of M‑60 in Jackson County as memorial highways honoring different groups of veterans. The bill would name one segment the Operation Iraqi Freedom Donald Wheeler Memorial Highway; a second for Vietnam War veterans Timothy Ballinger, Robert Jenks and James Morgan; and a third for World War II veterans Linford Graham, Melvin King and Vernon Smalley.

Lightner said the Concord Pulaski Memorial American Legion Auxiliary 81 brought the request and has already raised funds to pay for the roadway signs, which she described as expensive. She said the auxiliary worked with the county to identify and designate the specific portions of M‑60 so the signs can be installed along that route.

With no committee questions recorded, Representative Nyar moved to report House Bill 5089 with recommendation. The clerk called the roll and announced the motion prevailed; the clerk summary reports 15 ayes, 0 nays and 0 passes. The bill was reported with recommendation and will proceed in the legislative process.

No amendments, funding shifts, or opposing testimony are recorded in the meeting transcript.
