The bill H. 3003 is a concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that requests the Department of Transportation to designate a section of Main Street in Easley, Pickens County, as "Officer Matthew Logan Hare Memorial Avenue." This section extends from Wilbur Street to North Pendleton Street. The resolution honors Officer Matthew Logan Hare, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty at the young age of twenty-two while attempting to save a woman on the railroad tracks.
Officer Hare, a graduate of Easley High School and the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy, was recognized for his bravery and heroism by being inducted into the South Carolina Law Enforcement Hall of Fame in 2024. The resolution aims to commemorate his commitment to duty and service by erecting appropriate signs or markers along the designated highway section. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation for implementation.
