Purpose and Intent

  • The bill designates two bridges in Grayson County, Kentucky as memorial bridges:
    • Elmer Carmon Milliner Memorial Bridge
    • PFC Clarence Ozbert Milliner Memorial Bridge

Key Provisions

  • Formal designation of two specific bridges in Grayson County as memorial bridges bearing the names:
    • Elmer Carmon Milliner Memorial Bridge
    • PFC Clarence Ozbert Milliner Memorial Bridge
  • The designation is ceremonial and for signage purposes. It does not, by itself, authorize new construction, funding, or changes to the physical specifications of the bridges.
  • Any relevant signage, naming conventions, or interpretive markers would be authorized through applicable state and local procedures, subject to the bill’s designation.

Affected Entities and Impact

  • Geographic/Community Impact: Grayson County, Kentucky, particularly communities surrounding the designated bridges.
  • State and Local Governments: Transportation Cabinet and local jurisdictions would likely implement or install memorial signage consistent with the designation, following existing standards for state-aided or state-listed memorial designations.
  • Public Awareness: Commemorative naming may increase community recognition of the individuals honored (Elmer Carmon Milliner and PFC Clarence Ozbert Milliner).

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Introduction: 2026-01-08
  • Committee Path: Referred to Committee on Committees (H) upon introduction.
  • Next Steps: If forwarded by the House and approved by committees, the measure would typically proceed to the full chamber for debate and a vote. If companion or parallel actions exist in the Senate, concurrent consideration could occur. Final enactment would require formal passage by both chambers and signature or veto resolution by the Governor (as appropriate for Joint Resolutions in Kentucky).
