En lenguaje claro
This resolution honors former Georgia state Representative James A. "Bubber" Epps, Jr., who served on the Twiggs County Board of Commissioners, the Middle Georgia Regional Development Center Board, and represented House District 144 in the Georgia General Assembly from 2009 to 2019. It recounts his committee leadership roles and later service on the Middle Georgia Regional Commission Council. The resolution's operative effect is to designate the interchange of I-16 and State Route 96 in Twiggs County as the Representative Bubber Epps Interchange. 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 Representative Epps and the Department of Transportation.
