Senate adopts concurrent resolutions renaming state road and stretch of I‑65 in honor of fallen service members
Summary
The Senate adopted two concurrent resolutions: one renaming State Road 114 for Marine Captain Tom Kavich and another designating a portion of I‑65 as the Deputy Jacob Pickett Memorial Mile. Both were presented by sponsoring senators and passed by voice votes; the secretary will notify the House.
The Indiana Senate adopted two concurrent resolutions that direct state agencies to rename roadways in honor of fallen service members.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 12, presented by Senator Bush, asks INDOT to rename a portion of State Road 114 for Marine Captain Tom Kavich, a district constituent who gave his life in the line of duty. Senator Bush said the resolution followed a local study committee and committee testimony and asked for colleagues' support; the chamber approved the measure by voice vote.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, presented by Senator Buchanan, urges INDOT to designate a portion of I‑65 (between mile markers 137 and 138) as the Deputy Jacob Pickett Memorial Mile. Buchanan said deputies and Pickett’s family and friends provided moving testimony in committee and asked senators to support the measure; the resolution was adopted by voice vote.
Both resolutions were placed upon passage and adopted; the secretary will notify the House. Each sponsor encouraged colleagues to attend local memorial events and noted committee-level testimony that supported the measures.
