THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4102), requesting the Department of Transportation to name one-half mile on either side of mile marker 7 on Interstate 95 near Hardeeville, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME ONE-HALF MILE ON EITHER SIDE OF MILE MARKER 7 ON INTERSTATE 95 NEAR HARDEEVILLE TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF TROOPER FIRST CLASS MARK H. COATES OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY PATROL WHO WAS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY ON NOVEMBER 20, 1992.

Whereas, Trooper First Class Mark H. Coates of the South Carolina Highway Patrol was killed in the line of duty on November 20, 1992, five years to the day after he joined the Highway Patrol; and

Whereas, on November 20, 1992, while making what appeared to be a routine traffic stop on Interstate 95 at mile marker 7 near Hardeeville, Trooper Coates was fatally shot; and

Whereas, Trooper Coates was an exemplary law enforcement officer, dedicated to protecting the citizens of South Carolina and preserving the safety of our highways; and

Whereas, it is proper and fitting to name that portion of Interstate 95 at mile marker 7 in honor of the memory of Trooper First Class Mark H. Coates of the South Carolina Highway Patrol. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, requests the Department of Transportation to name that portion of Interstate 95 one-half mile on each side of mile marker 7 near Hardeeville in honor of the memory of Trooper First Class Mark H. Coates and to erect appropriate markers or signs reflecting this designation.

Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina Department of Transportation and to the family of Trooper First Class Mark H. Coates.
