The bill, S. 627, is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor James H. "Jay" Lucas by naming the Lake Prestwood Bridge in Darlington County as the "Speaker Jay Lucas Bridge." The resolution requests that the Department of Transportation erect appropriate markers or signs at the bridge to reflect this designation.
The resolution highlights Mr. Lucas's significant contributions to public service, including his tenure as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives and as the sixtieth Speaker of the House. It acknowledges his educational background, various professional roles, and the honors he has received, such as the Order of the Palmetto. The resolution concludes with a directive to forward a copy to the Department of Transportation and present it to Mr. Lucas.
