At an 8:00 a.m. meeting, the committee chair called for consideration of Senate Resolution 624, a bundled bill that would designate multiple road and memorial namings and move them to the House floor for presentation.
The resolution bundles dozens of dedications; the chair said the list includes 38 house namings and nine from the senate and that memorials and honorees would be presented by members on the floor in a sequence approved by leadership. The chair recognized staff who handled clearance letters and paperwork, naming Parker Hamilton and two staff members identified in the meeting as Jenna and Danny.
A committee member praised the chair’s focus on road namings, saying, "I want y'all know the passion that Chairman Jaspers puts into this road name." The committee approved the resolution by voice vote after a motion and second.
The committee approved SR 624 without a recorded roll-call vote; the chair said the adopted namings will be presented during forthcoming House floor proceedings.
