THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 566), to name the Division of Motor Vehicles office building of the South Carolina Department of Highways, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

DEWITT WILLIAMS, for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO NAME THE DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES OFFICE BUILDING OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO BE BUILT AT BALLENTINE IN RICHLAND COUNTY IN HONOR OF A. W. UTSEY, JR.

Whereas, A. W. "Will" Utsey, Jr., served as director of the Division of Motor Vehicles of the South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation from 1986 until his retirement in 1988; and

Whereas, during his years as director, the Division of Motor Vehicles handled well over two million vehicle registrations and served over two million licensed drivers annually; and

Whereas, Mr. Utsey, a resident of Chapin and a native of Bamberg County, joined the highway department in 1957 as a part-time junior clerk in the motor vehicle division, and following his graduation from the University of South Carolina, he joined the department full-time in the driver records section; and

Whereas, in 1960, Mr. Utsey took charge of administering the newly enacted Uninsured Motorists Act, and when the uninsured motorists and financial responsibility sections were combined in 1966, he was appointed supervisor; and

Whereas, he was appointed assistant director of the Division of Motor Vehicles in July, 1975, and held that position until he was promoted to director, upon the retirement of Emory P. Austin, Jr.; and

Whereas, he served as president and a member of the board of directors for Region 2 of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators and on the International Board of Directors; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly and the South Carolina State Highways and Public Transportation Commission wish to recognize Mr. Utsey in a tangible way for his years of distinguished public service. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the Division of Motor Vehicles Office Building of the South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation in Ballentine, scheduled to open in 1993, be named in honor of A. W. "Will" Utsey, Jr.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Utsey and the South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation.
