SR 359: Perry Parkway; Douglas County; dedicate

This resolution honors Tyler Perry, a Georgia based entertainer, filmmaker, and businessman, by naming a portion of State Route 92 in Douglas County after him. The dedicated stretch runs from Interstate 20 to Riverside Parkway. The resolution recounts Perry's career and philanthropic work, then directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the road as the Perry Parkway. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to Perry and to the Department of Transportation. The resolution does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose requirements beyond the sign installation.

• Dedicates the section of State Route 92 between Interstate 20 and Riverside Parkway in Douglas County as the Perry Parkway.
• Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to Tyler Perry and the Department of Transportation.

The Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install and maintain signage, and Douglas County residents and travelers who use that stretch of State Route 92, which will now carry the Perry Parkway name.

The practical effect is limited to signage: a specific road segment in Douglas County will display a new honorary name. It does not alter traffic laws, funding, or how the road is used day to day.

• The resolution's operative clause dedicates the State Route 92 segment from Interstate 20 to Riverside Parkway as the Perry Parkway.
• A further resolution clause authorizes and directs the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs.
• A final clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to Tyler Perry and the Department of Transportation.
