The resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to designate a section of Greentown Loop Road in Oak Hill, Fayette County, as the "James Monroe Ellis Memorial Road." This section begins at the intersection of US 19 and WV 16 and ends at the intersection of Meadow Fork Road. The resolution honors James Monroe "J.M." Ellis, who was a significant figure in West Virginia's history, being the first black attorney admitted to the West Virginia State Bar and serving multiple terms in the West Virginia House of Delegates. He was also appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to a service board and was recognized as the oldest attorney in Fayette County at the time of his death in 1957.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of commemorating J.M. Ellis's contributions to the state and the country. It calls for the installation of signs at both ends of the designated road section to identify it as the "James Monroe Ellis Memorial Road." Additionally, the resolution directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to facilitate the naming process.
