A JOINT RESOLUTION designating the Dr. John Dallas Stempel Memorial Highway in Fayette County.

This bill designates a specific stretch of Kentucky Route 1973 in Fayette County as the Dr. John Dallas Stempel Memorial Highway in honor of the late diplomat and academic. The legislation directs the state Transportation Cabinet to officially name this roadway and install appropriate signage within 30 days of the resolution taking effect. The designated highway segment runs from the intersection with Kentucky Route 922 to the intersection with U.S. Route 25, covering approximately three miles. This memorial recognizes Stempel's distinguished career as a U.S. Foreign Service officer, university professor, and director of the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce at the University of Kentucky.
