Bill > HB407

This bill enacts a new section in the Ohio Revised Code to designate a specific portion of U.S. Route 68 in Clinton County, specifically the northbound and southbound lanes between U.S. Route 22 and State Route 730 within the municipal corporation of Wilmington, as the "Daniel Smith Memorial Highway." The bill authorizes the director of transportation to install appropriate highway markers that identify the highway by its new commemorative name. While the bill does not provide background on who Daniel Smith was, such memorial highway designations are typically used to honor an individual who has made significant contributions to the local community or who has a meaningful connection to the area. The legislation follows a standard process for creating named roadways, which allows local and state governments to recognize and memorialize important individuals through transportation infrastructure naming.
