The bill, S. 543, is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor the legacy of John W. Parris by naming the interchange of Interstate 26 and Highway 11 at Exit 5 in Spartanburg County as the "John W. Parris Interchange." The resolution requests that the Department of Transportation erect appropriate markers or signs at this location to reflect the new designation.

John W. Parris, a native of Campobello, was a prominent agricultural educator and conservationist who made significant contributions to South Carolina's agricultural practices and policies. He was recognized for his leadership in various agricultural organizations and for his role in innovative legislation, such as the Stormwater Management and Sediment Reduction Act. The resolution serves to commemorate his impact on the state's agriculture and conservation communities, as well as to honor his memory following his passing in July 2024. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to Mr. Parris's family.
