	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SCR 27, Jackson. National Purple Heart Trail.
   This measure would designate specified portions of State Highway
Route 101 in the Counties of Santa Barbara and Ventura 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 the 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, In 2009, pursuant to Assembly Concurrent Resolution 12,
the Legislature designated a certain portion of State Highway Route
101 in the Counties of Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara
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 Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
portion of State Highway Route 101 in the County of Santa Barbara
from mile marker 36.16 to the Santa Barbara and Ventura County line,
and the entire portion of State Highway Route 101 in the County of
Ventura, for inclusion in the National Purple Heart Trail; and be it
further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested, upon
receiving donations from nonstate sources covering the cost of
appropriate signs consistent with the signing requirements for the
state highway system, to determine the appropriate sign locations and
erect those signs; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the Department of Transportation and to the author for
appropriate distribution.
