Bill > HJR70

This joint resolution designates a specific bridge on Kentucky Route 582 over Bates Branch in Knott County as the "BB and Larry King Memorial Bridge" in honor of two local brothers who were significant contributors to their community. The resolution highlights BB King's notable achievements as a high school basketball player and coach, including leading Knott County Central High School to multiple championships and being inducted into the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches Court of Honor in 2018. The document also notes that both BB and Larry King passed away recently (BB in December 2022 and Larry in April 2023) and were considered pillars of the Hindman community. The Transportation Cabinet is directed to erect appropriate signage identifying the bridge within 30 days of the resolution's effective date, thereby providing a lasting memorial to the King brothers' local legacy and contributions.
