The bill H. B. No. 2025-2026 proposes to enact a new section, 5534.932, of the Revised Code to officially designate Interstate 75 in Butler County as the "Patrolman Earnest E. Cole Memorial Highway." This designation honors Patrolman Earnest E. Cole and adds a commemorative name to the existing highway.
Additionally, the bill authorizes the director of transportation to erect suitable markers along the highway to indicate its new name. This initiative aims to recognize the contributions of Patrolman Cole and ensure that his memory is preserved within the community.
