W.D. "Don" Ballard Memorial Highway; Newton County; dedicate

This bill designates a specific section of State Route 81 in Newton County, Georgia, as the W.D. "Don" Ballard Memorial Highway to honor the legacy of William Donaldson "Don" Ballard. The legislation authorizes the Georgia Department of Transportation to install and maintain signs marking the dedication and directs the House Clerk to provide copies of the resolution to Ballard's family and the transportation department. Ballard is recognized for his service as a Navy veteran during World War II, his long career in public service including roles as a county attorney and state legislator, and his work as mayor of Oxford. The bill is a commemorative resolution that does not alter existing laws or policies but instead formally recognizes Ballard's contributions to his community and state through a memorial naming.
