SR378: SR378 Jeff Foxworthy Highway; Fulton County; dedicate

This resolution honors comedian Jeff Foxworthy, a Georgia native known for his comedy albums, books, and television work.

The resolution dedicates the portion of Interstate 85 between Mile Point 73.872 and Mile Point 75 in Fulton County as the Jeff Foxworthy Highway. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication, and instructs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to Foxworthy and to the Department of Transportation.
