HCR 42 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

U.S. Army Corporal Kenneth H. Tinsley Bridge

This bill (HCR 42) is a commemorative resolution requesting the West Virginia Division of Highways rename Rocky Fork Bridge (bridge number 00-005.51(20A561) on County Route 622 in Kanawha County) as the "U.S. Army Corporal Kenneth H. Tinsley Memorial Bridge." It directs the Division to install signs identifying the bridge with this new name, honoring Corporal Kenneth H. Tinsley's service in the Korean Conflict and his local community ties. The resolution does not create new policy or affect any laws - only changes the bridge's official name.

MODERATE

This bill was amended to change the sponsor attribution from the Delegate to the Committee on Energy and Public Works, update the bridge name formatting from 'U. S.' to 'U.S.', correct a grammatical error in the MiG-15 narrative, and change the forwarding authority from the Clerk of the Senate to the House of the Senate. These are primarily technical and formatting corrections rather than substantive policy changes.
