AI Summary
This bill designates a one-mile segment of U.S. Highway 51 in Canton, Mississippi, as the "Judge Lloyd Gilmer Spivey III Memorial Highway" and requires the Mississippi Department of Transportation to install appropriate signage. Additionally, it amends existing law by removing the prohibition against naming highways, roads, streets, or bridges on the designated state highway system after elected officials during their term or for ten years after leaving office, while retaining the requirement for local government resolutions to request such designations. This change aims to allow for memorializations of public figures sooner after their service.
