MO HB798

Establishes the "Heroes Way Interchange Designation Program" to honor fallen Missouri military members killed in action in Afghanistan or Iraq on or after September 11, 2001, with memorial signs on interstate or state numbered highway interchanges.

Allows relatives within the second degree of relationship to apply for interchange designations by submitting an application with sponsorship from a general assembly member, military service verification, and a fee covering construction and maintenance costs.

Requires the joint committee on transportation oversight to approve all interchange designation applications, with 97% of the application fee refunded if denied.

Limits designations to 20-year periods, with option to renew for additional 20-year increments, and restricts each interchange to honoring only one service member.

Designates specific highways and bridges as memorials: Highway 8 in St. Francois County as "Ferlin Huskey Highway"; Interstate 44 in St. Louis as "Officer David Haynes Memorial Highway"; U.S. Highway 67 in Butler County as "Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergeant David May Memorial Highway"; Interstate 40/64 in St. Louis County as "Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergeant Joseph G. Schuengel Memorial Highway"; Theiss Road bridge over Interstate 270 as "Glennon T. Moran Memorial Bridge"; State Highway E bridge in Wright County as "Pvt Ova A. Kelley Medal of Honor Memorial Bridge"; and Highway 25 in Dunklin and Stoddard counties as "Representative Otto Bean Memorial Highway."
