What changed in the latest version
2 added · 2 removedPlain-language change summary
The changes to HB 499 specify a new route for the "Speaker William J. 'Billy' McCoy Memorial Highway." Instead of starting at the Alcorn County/Tennessee State line and ending at the Prentiss/Lee County line, the highway will now begin one mile north of the intersection of U.S. Highway 45 and Mississippi Highway 356 and end two miles south of that same intersection. This adjustment matters because it alters the highway's location, potentially affecting the communities it serves and how the memorial is recognized.
