	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SCR 151, Gaines. Deputy Sheriff Michael D. Davis, Jr. Memorial
Interchange.
   This measure would designate a specified portion of Interstate
Highway 80 in Placer County as the Deputy Sheriff Michael D. Davis,
Jr. Memorial Interchange. The measure would request the Department of
Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing
this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate
sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.



   WHEREAS, Michael David Davis, Jr., was born in Bellflower,
California, on October 29, 1971. He moved to Placer County in 1995 to
pursue a career in law enforcement. He was initially hired by the
Auburn Police Department and joined the Placer County Sheriff's
Office in 1999 as a patrol deputy. A Roseville resident, Deputy
Sheriff Davis coached baseball in the Woodcreek Little League for
many years. Family and police work were "where his heart was," said
Placer County Sheriff Ed Bonner. Deputy Sheriff Davis' brother Jason,
his wife Jessica, and aunt and uncle worked for the department.
Deputy Sheriff Davis was a model officer who had zero complaints from
the public on his record and was known for his respect, tact, and
empathy toward those he served; and
   WHEREAS, Off-duty, Deputy Sheriff Davis was the one who made
everyone laugh at family gatherings. He had great stories, a quick
wit, and no filter, according to his brother Jason. Deputy Sheriff
Davis served his community with everything that he had. He was a
loving husband and father who adored all of his children. As a coach
he mentored other children; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy Sheriff Davis was just five days short of his 17th
birthday when his father, for whom he was named, was killed while on
assignment with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Deputy
Sheriff Davis had two younger brothers, Jason and Christopher.
According to Jason, Michael instantly assumed a parental role as a
big brother and helped raise his two younger brothers. When the
younger boys were troubled or woke from nightmares, they went to
Michael's room for comfort. Michael taught them to play baseball, and
he always included his two younger brothers in his group of older
friends. Deputy Sheriff Davis was always coaching and inspiring those
around him to be better; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy Sheriff Davis, who was on assignment as an acting
detective, was gunned down in the City of Auburn at 42 years of age,
on October 24, 2014, 26 years to the day after his father perished in
a helicopter crash during a police mission in southern California.
The shooting rampage that claimed Deputy Sheriff Davis' life began in
a Motel 6 parking lot in Sacramento and also killed Sacramento
County Sheriff's Deputy Danny Oliver. Authorities have charged Luis
Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte and his wife, Janelle Marquez Monroy, with
the murder of a peace officer. When he died, Deputy Sheriff Davis was
on assignment as a homicide detective in the Crimes Against Persons
unit. In addition to his wife Jessica, Deputy Sheriff Davis is
survived by daughters Angelique and Samantha, stepchildren Ivey and
Chayse, his mother Deborah, and his grandparents Bob and Joan Davis;
now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
portion of Interstate Highway 80 in Placer County at the Horseshoe
Bar Road Interchange, as the Deputy Sheriff Michael D. Davis, Jr.
Memorial Interchange; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the cost of appropriate signs consistent with the signing
requirements for the state highway system showing this special
designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources
sufficient to cover the cost, to erect those signs; and be it further

   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the Director of Transportation and to the author for
appropriate distribution.
