Senator Bullard’s bill to name bridge for WWII veteran advances unanimously

Senator Bullard introduced Senate Bill 1966 to name a local bridge for Clyde and Grace Cook and offered a brief personal account of Clyde Cook’s World War II service and postwar work building a bridge near his home.

"Senate bill 1966 is naming a bridge after Clyde and Grace Cook," Bullard said, noting that Clyde Cook "served in World War II in the Pacific Theater" and later built the first bridge by his house.

The sponsor yielded for questions and no members sought amendments or substantive debate. The clerk called the roll and the committee recorded 12 ayes and 0 nays, which the chair announced as sufficient to advance the bill.

The measure proceeds from committee; no implementation details or funding implications were discussed during the committee explanation.

The committee moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
