A bill (HB1405) was prefiled on September 12 on behalf of slain Trooper Chad Dermyer. The summary texts reads:

“Designating the Trooper Chad Phillip Dermyer Memorial Bridge. Designates the State Route 143 bridge in the City of Newport News at exit 255 over Interstate 64 the “Trooper Chad Phillip Dermyer Memorial Bridge.”

This was the fallen Trooper for whom VAHDA Foundation held a fundraiser in June; we raised over $20,000, thanks to YOUR generosity.

You can read the text of the prefile below, and we’ll keep you posted as this progresses during the 2017 Session.
