  • Title: Tyrone A. Burroughs Road
  • Purpose: Request the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) to name a segment of Santee Road in Williamsburg County after Tyrone A. Burroughs and place signs recognizing the designation.

Primary Purpose and Intent

  • The bill requests formal recognition by naming a specific road segment in Williamsburg County as “Tyrone A. Burroughs Road.”
  • The segment specified is: from June Branch Creek to its intersection with Charleston Road on Santee Road.
  • The resolution directs the SCDOT to install appropriate signs or markers at this location bearing the designation.

Key Provisions and Changes

  • Location Scope: Santee Road in Williamsburg County, specifically the stretch from June Branch Creek to the intersection with Charleston Road.
  • Signage: Requires signs or markers at the named location containing the words “Tyrone A. Burroughs Road.”
  • Legislative Mechanism: A concurrent resolution adopted by both the South Carolina Senate and House of Representatives, requesting action by the Department of Transportation.
  • Official Communication: A copy of the resolution to be forwarded to the SCDOT.

Who or What Would Be Affected

  • Government Entities: South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) would implement the naming and signage if the resolution is adopted and acted upon.
  • Local Area: Williamsburg County, specifically residents and travelers on Santee Road between June Branch Creek and Charleston Road.
  • Individuals Honored: Tyrone A. Burroughs, a South Carolina native and business/community leader described in the resolution. The bill does not create any new duties or requirements beyond the naming request.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduction and Referral: Introduced and referred to the Committee on Transportation on April 15, 2026.
  • Action History: Recalled from the Committee on Transportation on April 16, 2026. The text indicates ongoing committee consideration and potential floor action.

  • Status: As of the latest action, the bill has been recalled from committee, suggesting potential further consideration by the full General Assembly.

Additional Context

  • This type of measure is ceremonial in nature; it does not allocate funds or alter roads’ functional status, but it requires administrative action by SCDOT to implement the naming and signage if the resolution passes.
