Legislative Progress
Most bills that name buildings are low priority and often do not make it through the entire legislative process during a single session.
Key Points
- This bill would give a new name to the air traffic control tower at the Yakima Air Terminal in Washington. The facility would be officially called the Roy A. Rutherford Air Traffic Control Tower.
- If this passes, the new name would be used on all official government maps, regulations, and documents. This includes any future towers built at the same location.
- This action is ceremonial and meant to honor an individual. It will not change how the airport works or affect the daily lives of people flying in or out of Yakima.
