Summary
At the March 17 meeting the commission said it will name Highway 127 the Tommy Carter Highway and received a legislative briefing on three priority bills the county association is tracking.
County leadership said at the March 17 Limestone County Commission meeting that a ceremony to designate Highway 127 as the Tommy Carter Highway is scheduled for March 25, and the chairman provided a brief legislative update on three priority bills the county association has worked to advance.
The chairman said the commission plans to name Highway 127 the "Tommy Carter Highway" with a ceremony on March 25, and recognized Tommy Carter for his years of service and work for the north part of the state. The chairman noted Carter's contributions to the community and referenced the Carter Gymnasium as a local namesake.
On legislative matters, the chairman summarized three priority bills that the Alabama Association of County Commissions (ACCA) has advocated for: - Senate Bill 68, described in the meeting as relating to emergency aid; the chairman said ACCA worked to get the bill passed. - A bill affecting boards of registrars intended to address equal representation to match local area makeup; the chairman said this has been a multi-year effort. - Senate Bill 116, referenced in the meeting in the context of "Glock switches," described by the chairman as a law-enforcement-related issue that county delegates are supporting.
The chairman thanked the county's legislative delegation for their work on behalf of the area. The remarks were delivered as informational updates; no formal action or votes on the bills or the highway naming were recorded in the meeting minutes.
