The bill text adds U.S. Route 287 from Port Arthur, Texas, to Choteau, Montana, and designates that corridor as Interstate Route I-47.
Assessments
The promise was to support amending ISTEA to designate U.S. Route 287 as I-47, not necessarily to secure enactment. Hunt materially supported the specific federal legislation by cosponsoring H.R. 10241 in the 119th Congress, and the bill text matches the promised designation. Because this action occurred while he was serving in federal office, the timing is same_term.
