The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6713, aims to honor Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Knowlton by naming a specific portion of U.S. Route 44 after him. The designated section begins at the Eastford and Ashford town line and extends to the intersection with Connecticut Route 89 in Ashford. This recognition serves to commemorate Colonel Knowlton's contributions during the American Revolution, particularly highlighting his role as America's first military intelligence professional.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to officially designate the roadway in honor of Colonel Knowlton. This initiative reflects a broader effort to acknowledge historical figures and their impact on American history.
