Key Points

This bill would officially name six creeks in Carteret County, North Carolina, to honor the people who died in a plane crash on February 13, 2022. The names would be added to all federal maps and government records to create a lasting memorial for the victims.
The creeks would be named after Noah Styron, Hunter Parks, Kole McInnis, Stephanie Fulcher, Jacob Taylor, and Daily Shepherd. This action helps the local community remember those lost in the tragedy by giving their names to natural landmarks in the area.
This is a ceremonial act that does not change how the land is used or cost a significant amount of money. It ensures that any future government documents or maps will recognize these locations by their new commemorative names.
