Officer Gonzalo Carrasco, Jr., Memorial Highway.

Assembly Concurrent Resolution 109 (ACR 109) designates a portion of State Highway Route 43 in Selma, California, as the 'Officer Gonzalo Carrasco Jr. Memorial Highway' to honor Officer Carrasco, who was killed in the line of duty on January 31, 2023. The resolution requests the Department of Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signage and to erect these signs upon receiving sufficient donations from non-state sources.

The bill has been positively received as a fitting tribute to Officer Carrasco's service and sacrifice. Community members and law enforcement officials have expressed support, viewing the memorial highway as a meaningful way to honor his legacy and raise public awareness about the risks faced by police officers.

While the bill has garnered widespread support, some critics have raised concerns about the reliance on non-state funding for the signage, suggesting that the state should allocate resources for such memorials to ensure timely and consistent recognition of fallen officers.
