AI Summary
This joint resolution requests the Department of Transportation to designate a specific section of Johnston Street in Rock Hill, South Carolina, as "Officer Robert Gilmore Johnston Memorial Street" and to install appropriate signage. This action honors Officer Robert Gilmore Johnston, a law enforcement officer who tragically died in the line of duty on January 18, 1906, after accidentally discharging his firearm while warming the city council chamber.
