Summary — SR 284 (Senate Resolution) — “MEMORIAL — Peace Officer Memorial Highway”

Status: Resolution Adopted
Introduced: March 14, 2025
Primary Sponsors: Senators Randy Robertson, Ed Setzler, Timothy Bearden, John Albers, Jason Anavitarte, Dale Fowler
Classification: Senate resolution (honorary/dedication)

Purpose / Intent

SR 284 is an honorary resolution that recognizes and honors fallen peace officers of Georgia by dedicating a portion of State Route 92 in their memory. The resolution expresses the General Assembly’s appreciation for the service and sacrifice of peace officers and establishes a named highway to commemorate them.

Key provisions

  • Dedicates the portion of State Route 92 running from the Douglas County line to the Cobb County line as the “Peace Officer Memorial Highway.”
  • Authorizes and directs the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to erect and maintain appropriate signage identifying the Peace Officer Memorial Highway.
  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide an appropriate copy of the adopted resolution to the Department of Transportation.

Who/what is affected

  • Georgia Department of Transportation: responsible for sign installation and ongoing maintenance of the memorial signage.
  • Families of fallen peace officers, law enforcement communities, and the general public: the designation provides a permanent, public recognition and memorial along the specified highway segment.
  • Motorists and residents along SR 92 will see and be affected only by signage and the honorary name; the resolution does not change traffic rules or operations.

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Legislative actions recorded include: received by Secretary (Mar 14, 2025); read and adopted/enrolled (March 26, 2025); filed with Secretary and placed on Resolutions Consent Calendar (May 6, 2025); Resolution Adopted (May 8, 2025). The resolution is adopted and instructs GDOT to install signage.
  • As a resolution (honorary), SR 284 does not create enforceable statutory obligations beyond directing GDOT to place and maintain commemorative signs. No specific funding appropriation or dollar amounts are included; costs for signs and maintenance would be handled through GDOT’s normal budgetary and administrative processes (typically modest).

Additional note about included text

The version file supplied with the bill text also contains an unrelated Illinois Senate memorial (LRB104… ) honoring Brantly Russell Biggs. That portion appears to be from another jurisdiction and is not part of Georgia SR 284’s substantive provisions.
