The bill, S. 1040, is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that requests the Department of Transportation to name a section of Interstate 77, specifically from United States Highway 1 to Interstate Highway 20 in Richland County, as "President Barack H. Obama Highway." The resolution calls for the erection of appropriate signs or markers along this highway to reflect the new name.

The resolution highlights the significant achievements of former President Barack H. Obama, including his historic election as the first African American president, his leadership during the Great Recession, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and his efforts in international diplomacy. The members of the South Carolina General Assembly express their belief that it is fitting to honor President Obama for his contributions to the nation and the dignity he brought to the presidency.
