Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution would dedicate a bridge on State Route 100 over Turkey Creek in Carroll County as the Masen "Mase" McIntyre Memorial Bridge, honoring a young man from Bowdon. ### Plain-language summary This resolution honors Mr. Masen "Mase" Aubrey McIntyre II, a Carroll County native who graduated from Bowdon High School, played football and tennis, and later worked in his family's logging business. The resolution recounts his life and achievements, including his selection to the All-Region football team and Golden Helmet Award. The operative part of the resolution names the bridge on State Route 100 over Turkey Creek in Carroll County the Masen "Mase" McIntyre Memorial Bridge. 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 Mr. McIntyre's family and to the Department of Transportation. ### What it does - Dedicates the bridge on State Route 100 over Turkey Creek in Carroll County as the Masen "Mase" McIntyre Memorial Bridge. - Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the bridge's new name. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to Mr. McIntyre's family and the Department of Transportation. ### Who it affects This mainly affects the family and community of Mr. Masen "Mase" Aubrey McIntyre II in Carroll County, and it creates a small task for the Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install and maintain the memorial signage on State Route 100. ### Why it matters The resolution is a symbolic honor rather than a policy change. It gives the McIntyre family and community a lasting public memorial, and it requires the Department of Transportation to spend limited resources fabricating and installing signs on the bridge. ### Key provisions - The resolving clause names the bridge on State Route 100 over Turkey Creek in Carroll County as the Masen "Mase" McIntyre Memorial Bridge. - A further resolution 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 Mr. McIntyre's family and the Department of Transportation. ## Status - Status: Introduced (2025-01-27) - Last action: House Second Readers (2025-01-29) - Sponsors: Tyler Smith, David Huddleston - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/69505 > The history, votes, and amendments (129 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr66.md?full=1
