SR772: SR772 Sheriff Randall Johnson Intersection; Fayette County; dedicate

This resolution honors Randall Johnson, who served as Fayette County Sheriff for eight terms after being elected in 1976, following earlier work as a Fayette County deputy, a Georgia Capitol employee, and a special agent with the Department of Revenue's Division of Alcohol and Tobacco. The resolution directs that the intersection of State Route 92 and Westbridge Road in Fayette County be dedicated as the Sheriff Randall Johnson Intersection. It instructs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to Johnson and to the Department of Transportation.

• Dedicates the intersection of State Route 92 and Westbridge Road in Fayette County as the Sheriff Randall Johnson Intersection.
• Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedicated intersection.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to Sheriff Randall Johnson and the Department of Transportation.

This mainly affects Sheriff Randall Johnson, whose long law enforcement career in Fayette County is being honored, the Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install and maintain signage, and Fayette County residents who use the intersection.

The practical effect is a new named intersection and road signs in Fayette County honoring a longtime local sheriff; it creates a state-directed task for the Department of Transportation but does not change any laws, funding, or regulations.

• The resolved clause names the intersection of State Route 92 and Westbridge Road in Fayette County as the Sheriff Randall Johnson Intersection.
• A further resolved clause authorizes and directs the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs for the dedication.
• A final clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide copies of the resolution to Sheriff Johnson and the Department of Transportation.
