MINOR

The bill was amended to remove the nickname "Jo-Jo" from the name of the individual being honored on the highway. This change ensures the official dedication uses the person's full legal name, Jomani Wright, rather than a nickname, while keeping the ceremonial nature of the dedication intact.

Scope change

The scope of the dedication remains the same, but the specific name referenced in the text was narrowed from a nickname to a full legal name.

DEFINITION

The name of the honoree was changed from "Jomani 'Jo-Jo' Wright" to "Jomani Wright" in both the section title and the signing text to remove the nickname.
