In plain language
This resolution honors former state representative Terry England, who served 18 years in the Georgia House of Representatives before retiring in 2023 and later returned as chief of staff to House Speaker John Burns. The resolution recounts his career, including chairing the House Appropriations Committee and serving on several other House committees. The operative action is narrow: it dedicates the intersection of State Route 211 and West Winder Bypass in Barrow County as the Honorable Terry England Intersection. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication, and directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to England and to the Department of Transportation.
