WHEREAS, the Honorable Terry England has long been recognized by the citizens of this state for the vital role that he has played in leadership and his deep personal commitment to the welfare of the citizens of Georgia; and WHEREAS, Representative England has spent his entire working life as a farmer and agribusinessman; and WHEREAS, in 2004, he was elected to serve in the Georgia House of Representatives and diligently and conscientiously devoted innumerable hours of his time, talents, and energy toward the betterment of his community and state with 18 years of superlative service before his retirement in 2023; and WHEREAS, during his tenure in the House of Representatives, he served as chairperson of the House Appropriations Committee and cochairperson of the Agricultural Education Advisory Commission; and WHEREAS, he served on the Legislative Services Committee, the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee, and the House Committees on Agriculture and Consumer Affairs; Education; Natural Resources and Environment; Industry and Labor; and Ways and Means; and WHEREAS, his leadership and guidance were greatly relied upon by Speaker of the House of Representatives John Burns when Representative England returned to the Gold Dome after his retirement to serve with honor and distinction as chief of staff to the Speaker; and WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this remarkable and distinguished Georgian be recognized appropriately by dedicating an intersection in his honor. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the intersection of State Route 211 and West Winder Bypass in Barrow County is dedicated as the Honorable Terry England Intersection. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Transportation is authorized and directed to erect and maintain appropriate signs dedicating the Honorable Terry England Intersection.

Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution would name the intersection of State Route 211 and West Winder Bypass in Barrow County the Honorable Terry England Intersection, honoring the former state representative. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### What it does - Dedicates the intersection of State Route 211 and West Winder Bypass in Barrow County as the Honorable Terry England Intersection. - Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the newly named intersection. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send copies of the resolution to Terry England and to the Department of Transportation. ### Who it affects This mainly affects the Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install and maintain the signage, and residents and travelers in Barrow County who use the intersection of State Route 211 and West Winder Bypass. It also formally recognizes former state representative Terry England. ### Why it matters The practical effect is limited to signage: drivers passing through this Barrow County intersection will see it named after Terry England, and the Department of Transportation takes on a small ongoing duty to maintain the signs. It carries no other legal or funding consequences. ### Key provisions - The resolved clause names the intersection of State Route 211 and West Winder Bypass in Barrow County as the Honorable Terry England Intersection. - A further resolved clause authorizes and directs the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs for the dedication. - A final clause directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to England and the Department of Transportation. ## Status - Status: Introduced (2026-03-18) - Last action: House Second Readers (2026-03-20) - Sponsors: Chuck Efstration, Jon Burns, Holt Persinger, Houston Gaines, James Hatchett, Bruce Williamson - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/74199 > The history, votes, and amendments (129 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr1752.md?full=1
