It’s truly humbling to hear the Georgia House of Representatives pay tribute to several remarkable Georgians by commemorating their legacy through the dedication of intersections and highways, including our esteemed Deputy Tyee Browne. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Representative Noel Williams for presenting HR 996, “Deputy Tyee Browne Memorial 1.7 Miles.” We look forward to Senator Summers endorsing the bill as it progresses to the Senate.
The House Committee on Transportation offers the following substitute to HR 854:
