House Bill 1372, also known as Senate Bill 1407, proposes the official renaming of a segment of road in Davidson County, Tennessee, from "Rep. John Lewis Way" to "President Donald Trump Boulevard" to honor the former President. The bill outlines the specific segment of the road that will be renamed, starting from the intersection with U.S. Highway 41 / State Route 6 (James Robertson Parkway) and ending at Dr. Martin L. King Jr. Blvd. The Tennessee Department of Transportation is tasked with erecting appropriate signage to reflect this change, ensuring compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and state guidelines.
Additionally, the bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 4-1-412(a)(7)(B) by deleting the term "street," which may relate to the broader context of road naming conventions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the public welfare in this matter.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 4-1-412(a)(7)(B), 4-1-412
