The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 629, introduced by Senator Harding of the 30th District, seeks to name a bridge in the town of Litchfield after Corporal Roger "Dodge" Doyle. The bill specifies that Bridge No. 00908, which carries U.S. Route 202 over the Bantam River, is to be named in honor of Corporal Doyle. The bill does not contain any insertions or deletions from current law, as it is a standalone act of naming a piece of infrastructure.
The purpose of the bill is to recognize Corporal Roger "Dodge" Doyle for his lengthy and dedicated career in law enforcement, which spanned forty-six years. The act of naming the bridge serves as a tribute to his service and is intended to be a permanent acknowledgment of his contributions to the community.
