AN ACT DESIGNATING A CERTAIN BRIDGE IN THE TOWN OF FALMOUTH AS THE DEPUTY JOHN ROBERT KOTFILA, JR. MEMORIAL BRIDGE.

The bridge located on the northbound side of state highway route 28 spanning state highway route 151 in the town of Falmouth shall be designated and known as the Deputy John Robert Kotfila, Jr. memorial bridge, in memory of John Robert Kotfila, Jr., a Falmouth native who was killed in the line of duty while serving as a deputy sheriff in the Hillsborough county sheriff’s office deputy sheriff in the state of Florida.
