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 notable figure in South Carolina's agricultural and conservation communities, made significant contributions throughout his life, including teaching agriculture education and leading the South Carolina Land Resources Commission. His efforts in promoting innovative agricultural practices and mentoring future leaders in the field have left a lasting impact on the state. The resolution aims to pay tribute to his extraordinary service and legacy by commemorating him through this road naming.
