Code:

andy@7_~/bin$ pwd
/home/andy/bin
andy@7_~/bin$ printf '%s\n' "$PATH"
/home/andy/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
andy@7_~/bin$ ls -l my-hilite
ls: cannot access 'my-hilite': No such file or directory
andy@7_~/bin$ type env bash
env is /usr/bin/env
bash is /bin/bash

I named my script Hilite.sh if that makes a difference.
