AI Summary

This concurrent resolution urges the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to rename a portion of State Road 56 near French Lick as the "Chief Vern Ervin Memorial Mile" in honor of a local police chief who was tragically killed in the line of duty. Chief Vern Ervin was a United States Army veteran who served in World War II and had worked in law enforcement for 17 years, including 16 years with the French Lick Police Department and one year with the Orange County Sheriff's Office. He was killed on September 10, 1972, while attempting to resolve a domestic dispute at the French Lick Police Station. At the time of his death, he left behind a wife, two daughters, one son, three grandsons, and five siblings. The resolution seeks to memorialize Chief Ervin's bravery and service to both his local community and the nation, and it directs the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives to send copies of the resolution to the Commissioner of INDOT to facilitate the road renaming.
