	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 86, Roger Hernández. CHP Officer William B. Wolff III Memorial
Interchange.
   This measure would designate the interchange at State Highway
Route 10 and the Interstate 605 freeway in the County of Los Angeles
as the CHP Officer William B. Wolff III Memorial Interchange. The
measure would request the Department of Transportation to determine
the cost for appropriate signs, which shall include the star of the
California Highway Patrol, showing this designation and, upon
receiving donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, to
erect those signs.




   WHEREAS, William B. Wolff III was born on January 22, 1946, in
Akron, Ohio, the son of William and Barbara and the brother of Jana;
and
   WHEREAS, Officer Wolff graduated from Upper Darby High School in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1964, and attended Cal Poly Pomona
shortly thereafter, where he received a degree in kinesiology; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Wolff was a licensed vocational nurse and also
served our country as a member of the United States Navy prior to
becoming a California Highway Patrol officer; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Wolff is remembered as the proud father of Eric
William, born September 19, 1968, and Carrie Ann, born November 8,
1971. He is the grandfather of Kaylee Rose, born June 13, 2003; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Wolff, badge number 8342, entered the California
Highway Patrol Academy on August 13, 1973, and, upon graduation, was
assigned to the Baldwin Park area, where he served for approximately
five years; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Wolff was killed in the line of duty on December
30, 1977, while making a traffic stop along the Interstate 10 freeway
in Baldwin Park, when he was struck by a drunk driver. The motorist
who killed Officer Wolff was charged with felony drunk driving; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Wolff was a hard working, dedicated officer who
loved his job and enjoyed the people he worked with. He was known for
being a loyal family man and a wonderful father; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Wolff had an incredible sense of humor. In his
spare time, he enjoyed piloting, waterskiing, and spending time with
his family; and
   WHEREAS, In recognition of Officer Wolff's great contributions and
sacrifice in serving the California Highway Patrol and the citizens
of California, it would be fitting to designate a portion of State
Highway Route 10 in Los Angeles County in his honor; now, therefore,
be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
interchange at State Highway Route 10, post mile 31.151, and the
Interstate 605 freeway in the County of Los Angeles as the CHP
Officer William B. Wolff III Memorial Interchange; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the costs of erecting the appropriate signs, which shall
include the star of the California Highway Patrol, consistent with
the signing requirements for the state highway system, showing these
special designations, and upon receiving donations from nonstate
sources covering the cost, to erect those signs; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the Director of Transportation and to the author
for appropriate distribution.
