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 designation.

John W. Parris, a native of Campobello, was a prominent figure in South Carolina's agricultural community, known for his contributions to agricultural education and conservation. He served as the leader of the South Carolina Land Resources Commission for over two decades and was instrumental in introducing innovative agricultural practices. The resolution acknowledges his significant impact on the state's agriculture and conservation efforts, as well as his role in mentoring future leaders in these fields. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to Mr. Parris's family.
