HR1705: HR1705 State Representative Roger Bruce Intersection; Fulton County; dedicate

This resolution honors former State Representative Roger Bruce, who served House District 61 in the Georgia House of Representatives starting in 2002. It recounts his education at Morehouse College, his committee service, and his work on issues like children with special needs, aging, education, and criminal justice. The operative part of the resolution designates the intersection of State Route 6 (Camp Creek Parkway) and State Route 70 (Fulton County Industrial Boulevard SW) in Fulton County as the State Representative Roger Bruce Intersection. It directs the Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the dedication, and instructs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to Bruce and to the Department of Transportation.
