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.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of commemorating Ellis's contributions to the state and country, noting his educational background, his service on the Selected Service Board appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and his legacy as a prominent attorney in Fayette County until his death in 1957. It also calls for the installation of signs at both ends of the designated road to identify it as the "James Monroe Ellis Memorial Road" and directs the Clerk of the House to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
