Down East Remembrance Act

This bill would name six creeks in Carteret County, North Carolina, to honor people who died in a 2022 plane crash. The creeks would be called Noah Styron Creek, Hunter Parks Creek, Kole McInnis Creek, Stephanie Fulcher Creek, Jacob Taylor Creek, and Daily Shepherd Creek. Federal maps and documents would use these new names wherever those creeks are mentioned.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Local communities, map users, and federal agencies that publish maps and records.
• What changes: Six creeks receive new names in remembrance of the victims; all federal references would use these names.
• When: The changes would apply if and when the bill becomes law.
