Bill > S0627

This resolution requests that the South Carolina Department of Transportation rename the Lake Prestwood Bridge in Darlington County to the "Speaker Jay Lucas Bridge" in honor of James H. "Jay" Lucas, a prominent local civic leader and politician. The resolution provides background on Lucas, highlighting his extensive public service career, including serving as a county attorney, city judge, and member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, where he was the sixtieth Speaker of the House from 2014 to 2022. Lucas, a native of Columbia who holds degrees from the University of South Carolina, received the Order of the Palmetto from Governor Henry McMaster in 2022. The resolution not only asks the Department of Transportation to rename the bridge and erect appropriate markers, but also requires that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to Jay Lucas himself, serving as a formal recognition of his contributions to public service in South Carolina.
