Mueller-Keating Memorial Highway Act

This section formally designates a 26-mile segment of Interstate 17 in the State of Arizona. Specifically, the portion between milepost 237 near New River and milepost 263 at the junction with State Route 69 near Cordes Junction will be known as the "Kayla Jean Mueller and Charles H. Keating IV Memorial Highway." It also states that the highway will be commonly referred to as the "Mueller-Keating Memorial Highway," establishing a permanent honorary name for this stretch of road.

This subsection clarifies that the new highway designation is purely honorary and does not supersede, alter, or diminish the existing "Arizona Veterans Highway" designation for Interstate 17. It explicitly states that the designation will not necessitate any changes to current highway names, maps, addresses, or navigation systems, nor will it impose any requirements for additional federal funding. This ensures the designation is symbolic without creating administrative or financial burdens.

This section directs the Secretary of Transportation, in collaboration with relevant state and local authorities, to allow for the installation of appropriate honorary signage along the designated highway. It also permits memorialization at the Sunset Point Rest Area, providing a physical location for remembrance. Furthermore, the designation is required to be included in the official repository on the Department of Transportation's website, ensuring its formal record-keeping.
