What This Bill Does

This bill names a specific segment of Interstate Route 680 in Omaha, Nebraska. The segment begins at milepost 0 and ends at the Missouri River, and the bill designates it as the Hal Daub Freeway. It also provides that references in federal laws, maps, regulations, documents, papers, or other records to that portion of Interstate 680 are deemed to refer to the Hal Daub Freeway. The bill is honorary and administrative; it does not authorize construction funding, change highway ownership, or alter traffic rules.

Who Benefits and How

Omaha residents, Nebraska civic organizations, local officials, the Daub family, map publishers, and highway users benefit from a federal designation honoring Hal Daub and creating a consistent name for the route segment. Federal and state transportation records benefit from a clear reference rule for maps and documents.

Who Bears the Burden and How

Federal Highway Administration staff, Nebraska transportation officials, Omaha public works staff, map publishers, and signage contractors may need to update records, maps, signs, or databases to reflect the Hal Daub Freeway designation. Federal taxpayers or state highway funds could bear any administrative or signage costs if signs are replaced or added.

Key Provisions

• Adds the Hal Daub Freeway designation to the Omaha segment of Interstate Route 680 from milepost 0 to the Missouri River.
• Requires federal legal, map, regulatory, document, paper, and record references to that route segment to use the new designation.
• Provides an honorary naming rule without changing highway operations, ownership, or funding authority.
