Bill Summary

Urging the Indiana Department of Transportation to rename the State Road 7 bridge over the Vernon Fork of the Muscatatuck River the "Lance Corporal Jacky Koenig Jr. Memorial Bridge". A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION urging the Indiana Department of Transportation to rename the State Road 7 bridge over the Vernon Fork of the Muscatatuck River the "Lance Corporal Jacky Koenig Jr. Memorial Bridge".

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution urges the Indiana Department of Transportation to rename the State Road 7 bridge over the Vernon Fork of the Muscatatuck River in honor of Lance Corporal Jacky Koenig Jr., a local marine who tragically died during a training exercise in Okinawa, Japan in 2017 at the age of 20. The resolution provides background on Koenig's life, highlighting that he was born in California but grew up in North Vernon, Indiana, where he attended Jennings County High School and was active in sports like track, cross country, and wrestling. Koenig was known for his community service, including volunteering for the Muscatatuck River cleanup project, and he joined the United States Marine Corps in 2015 after graduating high school. The resolution not only seeks to memorialize Koenig by naming the bridge after him but also requires the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives to transmit copies of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Transportation, ensuring that the proposed bridge renaming is officially communicated.
