	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 12, Blakeslee. National Purple Heart Trail.
   This measure would designate a specified portion of State Highway
Route 101 from Monterey County to Santa Barbara County for inclusion
in the National Purple Heart Trail. The measure would also request
that the Department of Transportation determine the cost for
appropriate signs showing this special designation and, upon
receiving donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, erect
those signs.



   WHEREAS, The National Purple Heart Trail was established in 1992
for the purpose of commemorating and honoring men and women who have
been wounded or killed in combat while serving in the United States
Armed Forces; and
   WHEREAS, The National Purple Heart Trail courses its way across
the vast majority of the United States; and
   WHEREAS, In 2001, pursuant to Senate Concurrent Resolution 14, the
Legislature designated portions of State Highway Routes 5 and 80 as
California's selections for inclusion in the National Purple Heart
Trail; and
   WHEREAS, The Legislature finds that it is appropriate to designate
additional portions of the state highway system for inclusion in the
National Purple Heart Trail in order to honor the men and women who
have been wounded or killed in combat while serving in the United
States Armed Forces; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
portion of State Highway Route 101 from mile marker 9.67 in Monterey
County to mile marker 36.16 in Santa Barbara County for inclusion in
the National Purple Heart Trail; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the cost of appropriate signs, consistent with the signing
requirements for the state highway system, showing that special
designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources
covering that cost, to erect those signs; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the Department of Transportation and to the author
for appropriate distribution.
