Bill Summary
To enact section 5533.106 of the Revised Code to designate a portion of State Route 47 in Darke County as the "PFC John Wayne Richard Memorial Highway."
AI Summary
This bill proposes to designate a specific segment of State Route 47 in Darke County, Ohio, as the "PFC John Wayne Richard Memorial Highway." Specifically, the northbound and southbound lanes between McGreevey Road and Long Road will be officially named in honor of PFC (Private First Class) John Wayne Richard. The bill authorizes the Director of Transportation to erect markers along this highway segment to indicate its new commemorative name. By creating this memorial highway, the bill aims to recognize and honor a service member, likely a local soldier who served in the military, by permanently memorializing his name on a roadway in his home county. This type of legislative action is a common way for state governments to pay tribute to individuals who have made significant contributions or sacrifices, particularly military veterans.
