Legislative bill overview

SR 842 is a symbolic resolution that designates a highway in Henry County, Georgia as the "Reverend James Miller Highway" in honor of Reverend James Miller. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signage identifying the designated highway segment.

Why is this important
