SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified

is created a duplication in numb ering, reads as follows:

plain view to let the public know the project was constructed for
the people of that community. It is the intent of the Legislature
to do the same, with all infrastructure or construction projects in
this state that are funded partially or fully by the American Rescue
