           Purpose  . Given the proliferation of highway-naming resolutions 
          in recent years, and the legislative effort required to process 
          all these measures, last year the Assembly Committee on 
          Transportation considered, but rejected, a proposal for a 
          temporary moratorium on such resolutions. As an alternate means 
          of addressing this situation, the chair and co-chair of that 
          committee have jointly authored ACR 100 and have invited any 
          member wishing to author a highway-naming resolution to join as 
          a co-author of this measure and have their designation added by 
          amendment.
