The Senate Committee on Transportation convened on May 21, 2025, at 8:00 AM, with a quorum established from the previous hearing. The primary agenda item was the discussion of House Bill 2026, presented by Senator Hagan Booth.

Senator Booth introduced House Bill 2026, which aims to honor two distinguished service members from Archer County. The bill seeks to memorialize U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Gary C. Johnston, who was born in April 1948 and lost his life in Vietnam, and U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Gary S. Johnston, born in May 1985, who was killed in action in Iraq in February 2007. Notably, Sergeant Gary S. Johnston was the nephew of Staff Sergeant Gary C. Johnston.

Senator Booth emphasized the importance of recognizing the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers in defense of the nation. The committee's discussion highlighted the significance of memorializing their dedication and service.

The meeting proceeded with no further agenda items discussed, concluding with a commitment to honor the legacy of the Johnston family through the proposed legislation. The committee will continue to review the bill in future sessions.
