Last action March 20, 2026 · House Second Readers

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.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives. It recognizes former state representative Terry England, who served 18 years in the House before retiring in 2023, including time as chairperson of the House Appropriations Committee and later as chief of staff to House Speaker John Burns. The resolution designates 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 put up and maintain signs marking the dedication, and it directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to England and to the Department of Transportation.

What the bill 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 dedicated intersection.
  • Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to Terry England and to the Department of Transportation.

Who it affects
