Bill Summary
To enact section 5534.428 of the Revised Code to designate a portion of I-71 in Columbus as the "Chief of Police James G. Jackson Memorial Highway."
AI Summary
This bill enacts a new section in Ohio's Revised Code to designate a specific portion of Interstate 71 in Columbus as the "Chief of Police James G. Jackson Memorial Highway". The highway segment spans the northbound and southbound lanes between Interstate 670 and East Hudson Street. The Ohio Department of Transportation is authorized to install highway markers that will indicate the memorial name along this stretch of roadway. This type of legislative action is a common way to honor local public servants or community leaders by naming infrastructure after them, in this case recognizing Chief of Police James G. Jackson with a memorial highway designation. The bill does not alter the physical characteristics or functionality of the highway, but simply provides an honorary name that will be reflected in official state records and through roadside signage.
