HR 1672: Huxsie Scott Bridge; Chatham County; dedicate

This resolution from the Georgia General Assembly honors Huxsie Scott, a Savannah jazz and blues vocalist who has performed since 1973 and shared stages with musicians like Lionel Hampton and McCoy Tyner. It recounts her career highlights, including her role with the Savannah Jazz Orchestra, her gospel recordings, and several music honors she has received. The resolution's operative effect is to dedicate the bridge on State Route 204 over the CSX railroad (Bridge ID # 0510075) in Chatham County as the Huxsie Scott Bridge. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the dedication, and directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to Ms. Scott and to the Department of Transportation.

• Dedicates the bridge on State Route 204 over the CSX railroad (Bridge ID # 0510075) in Chatham County as the Huxsie Scott Bridge.
• Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the bridge's new name.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send copies of the resolution to Ms. Scott and the Department of Transportation.
• Recites Ms. Scott's career achievements as the stated reason for the honorary naming.

This mainly affects Huxsie Scott, who is being honored, the Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install and maintain signage, and residents and travelers in Chatham County who use the State Route 204 bridge over the CSX railroad.

The resolution does not change any law, regulation, or funding; its practical effect is a new name and signage on an existing bridge in Chatham County, serving as a public tribute to a local musician's decades-long career.

• The resolved clause dedicates the State Route 204 bridge over the CSX railroad, Bridge ID # 0510075, in Chatham County as the Huxsie Scott Bridge.
• A further resolved clause authorizes and directs the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs for the dedication.
