Bill > HB436

This bill proposes to officially designate a specific stretch of Interstate Route 77 in Washington County, Ohio as the "Auxiliary Patrolman Earl Ulmer Memorial Highway". Specifically, the bill covers both the northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 77 between Cambridge Road and the southernmost intersection with Highland Ridge Road. The legislation authorizes the Director of Transportation to install appropriate highway markers indicating the memorial highway's name. While the bill does not provide context about Earl Ulmer, the use of "Auxiliary Patrolman" suggests he was likely a law enforcement auxiliary officer who may have served in Washington County and is being honored through this highway designation. Such memorial highway designations are a common way for state legislatures to recognize local individuals who have made significant contributions or sacrifices to their community.
