House adopts a series of memorial resolutions and road/bridge dedications
Summary

The House took time on floor to present and adopt a series of memorial resolutions and road namings honoring fallen officers, community leaders and veterans. Chairman Brian Prince led the floor presentations; several members stood for memorial recognition and the House voted to adopt the committee substitute and the resolutions.
Items recorded on the floor included dedications for Deputy Brandon Cunningham (intersection in Paulding County), Officer Jeremy LaBonte (interchange at GA‑400 and Holcomb Bridge), and numerous bridge and road dedications across multiple counties. Chairman Prince asked members to stand for memorials as part of the process.

Senate Resolution 231 (Officer Jeremy LaBonte interchange) and related resolutions were adopted by recorded votes (e.g., SR 231 recorded as 163 yeas, 0 nays on the floor announcement for that resolution). Committee substitutes were adopted where noted and the House agreed to committee reports before recorded votes.
