Senate committee clears omnibus road-naming bill with minor amendment
Summary
The committee approved an omnibus road-naming measure that packages multiple Senate resolutions and house road-naming requests into a single bill after an amendment to remove one listed road name.
The Senate Transportation Committee voted to approve an omnibus road-naming bill, H.R. 7, which bundles numerous road- and intersection-naming Senate resolutions and house requests into a single measure for the Senate to consider.
Representative Campbell presented the measure and said the omnibus includes multiple Senate resolutions (SR 265, SR 267, SR 284, SR 348, SR 371, SR 378, SR 413, SR 414, SR 439, SR 463, SR 454 and SR 359) and noted a specific inclusion related to Tyler Perry that drew committee attention. The representative said submissions included required no-conflict letters and affidavits and that items included in the sub were covered by those disclosures.
Leader Gooch offered a technical amendment to strike "Burntstand Road" from a line naming an intersection in honor of a trooper who died in the line of duty; the committee approved that amendment by voice vote. Vice Chair Dixon moved the bill, and Leader Gooch seconded; the committee adopted the omnibus by voice vote.
Representative Campbell said he would appreciate a Senate sponsor to carry the measure on the floor and accepted Leader Gooch's offer to carry the resolution in the Senate.
There were no other substantive changes recorded; the committee sent the bill forward to the Senate floor.
