Lee Elder Way Designation Act of 2023

This bill designates a specific stretch of 26th Street in Washington, D.C., as "Lee Elder Way" to honor the late golfer and civil rights activist. The legislation formally changes the street name between Benning Road and H Street in the Northeast quadrant of the city. It requires no new funding or changes to existing laws, serving only as a symbolic tribute. The change becomes official once the Mayor approves the measure and a standard review period concludes.
