The bill H. 3938 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor Dr. Melvin Leroy Howard by naming a section of South Charleston Road in Darlington County as the "Dr. Melvin Leroy Howard Memorial Highway." The designated area extends from the intersection of Piano Road to the Darlington/Florence County line. The resolution requests the Department of Transportation to erect appropriate signs or markers at this location to commemorate Dr. Howard's contributions and legacy.

Dr. Melvin Leroy Howard was a distinguished military veteran, law enforcement officer, and educator, recognized for being the first African American to achieve the rank of lieutenant colonel in the South Carolina Highway Patrol. His career included significant roles in the U.S. Army, Timmonsville Police Department, and the Highway Patrol, where he made notable advancements and contributions until his passing in 2015. The resolution reflects the General Assembly's intent to memorialize his life and achievements through this naming honor.
