Bill > HB06714

This bill proposes to slightly modify the name of an existing memorial bridge in Brookfield, Connecticut, by adding the Roman numeral "III" to the existing bridge name. Specifically, the bridge located on Connecticut Route 133 will be renamed from the "Lance Corporal John T. Schmidt Memorial Bridge" to the "Lance Corporal John T. Schmidt III Memorial Bridge". The bill appears to be a technical correction to ensure the bridge precisely honors Lance Corporal John T. Schmidt III, likely a local military service member, by including his full name designation. Such legislative actions to rename bridges or other public infrastructure after local service members are common ways for communities to memorialize and recognize the sacrifices of military personnel, particularly those who may have been killed or wounded in the line of duty.
