A JOINT RESOLUTION designating the Coach Jim Matney Memorial Highway in Johnson and Martin Counties.
HJR 73 is a ceremonial resolution designating a specific segment of Kentucky Route 3 in Johnson and Martin Counties as the "Coach Jim Matney Memorial Highway." It directs the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to rename the highway portion from mile point 20 to the Johnson County line in Martin County and all of KY Route 3 in Johnson County, requiring new signage within 30 days. The bill has no fiscal impact or policy changes - it solely honors the late high school football and wrestling coach Jim Matney through an honorary highway designation. This is a procedural resolution with no substantive legislative effect beyond the name change.
