SR932: SR932 United States Treasurer Brandon L. Beach Highway; Fulton County; dedicate

Last action March 10, 2026 · Senate Read and Referred

A Georgia Senate resolution would name a stretch of State Route 9 in Fulton County the United States Treasurer Brandon L. Beach Highway, honoring the former state senator's career.

In plain language

This resolution honors Brandon L. Beach, who represented Georgia's 21st Senate District for over two decades and later became United States Treasurer under President Donald J. Trump. It recounts his roles chairing the Senate Transportation Committee and the Senate Economic Development and Tourism Committee, and his leadership positions with regional transportation and development authorities in the Fulton County area. The operative part of the resolution designates the portion of State Route 9 between Old Milton Parkway and Mayfield Road in Fulton County as the United States Treasurer Brandon L. Beach Highway. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the dedication, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to Beach and to the Department of Transportation.

What the bill does

  • Dedicates the section of State Route 9 between Old Milton Parkway and Mayfield Road in Fulton County as the United States Treasurer Brandon L. Beach Highway.
  • Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the highway dedication.
  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to Brandon L. Beach and to the Department of Transportation.
  • Recites Beach's biography and public service career as the basis for the honorary designation, without creating any new legal requirements beyond the signage.

Who it affects

The Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install and maintain the new highway signage, and residents and drivers in Fulton County who use the affected stretch of State Route 9. The resolution also formally recognizes Brandon L. Beach, the former state senator and current United States Treasurer.

Why it matters

The practical effect is limited to renaming a specific road segment and adding signage; it does not change traffic rules, funding, or property along the route. Its significance is mainly ceremonial, publicly honoring a Georgian's career in state and federal government.
