Committee moves bill to name two Itawamba County road segments after Roger Campbell and Jacob Edward Kent
Summary
House Bill 342 would name a portion of MS Highway 370 the Roger Campbell Memorial Highway and a section of MS Highway 363 the Jacob Edward Kent Memorial Highway in Itawamba County; committee advanced the bill after a mileage clarification.
House Bill 342, presented to the committee, would designate a segment of Mississippi Highway 370 in Itawamba County as the Roger Campbell Memorial Highway and a segment of Mississippi Highway 363 in the same county as the Jacob Edward Kent Memorial Highway. The Chair read the bill language and stated the measures would take effect July 1, 2026.
Senator Barrett acknowledged he had "no objections" to the designations but flagged that the bill text appeared to lack explicit mileage figures. "It it looks to me and and I have no objections to any of them, but it looks like house bill 3 42 and house bill 6 55, It looks like there's not a designation of mileage in place," Senator Barrett said. The Chair and staff said they had reviewed maps and confirmed the segments were within approximately 1 mile where applicable; the committee then moved the bill forward with a titled, due-pass action.
