Bill > H5051

This bill proposes to officially rename Rhode Island Bridge No. 250, which carries Route 24 over the Sakonnet River between Portsmouth and Tiverton, as the "Staff Sergeant Christopher Potts Sakonnet River Bridge." The legislation amends Chapter 22-7.4 of the General Laws, which governs the naming of state buildings, bridges, and other constructions. By dedicating the bridge to Staff Sergeant Christopher Potts, the bill aims to honor a military service member, though the specific details of Potts' service are not provided in the bill text. The naming of infrastructure after military personnel is a common practice to recognize and commemorate the sacrifices of service members. The bill would take effect immediately upon its passage, meaning the bridge would be officially renamed as soon as the legislation is signed into law.
