The resolution highlights Carter's deep roots in Limestone County, his athletic achievements in high school and college, and his extensive public service. Carter served on the Limestone County Board of Education, was elected to the Alabama Legislature's House of Representatives for the fifth district, and held his seat from 1970 until his retirement after 36 years. During his tenure, he played a key role in various committees and continued to contribute to his community after retirement.

The resolution details Carter's significant contributions to the community, including his efforts to keep Athens State University operational and his leadership roles within the House Rules Committee and other important legislative committees. It acknowledges his post-retirement involvement with local organizations and encourages the Department of Transportation to work with local officials to designate the specified highway section in his honor. The resolution also calls for the erection of appropriate signs or markers to recognize this designation, in accordance with applicable requirements and laws. The document is certified by the Senate Secretary and passed by the House of Representatives, with Senator Melson's involvement.
