(CNN) - A bill has been filed to rename a Florida highway after the late Jimmy Buffett.
Florida state representative Chuck Clemons filed the bill on Friday.
It aims to rename State Road A1A, which is a major coastal highway that runs from Key West in the Florida Keys all the way up to Georgia.
If passed, parts of the highway would be renamed to Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway in specific counties.
The beloved “Margaritaville” singer died a month ago from a rare type of skin cancer. He was 76.
The name change would not happen anytime soon.
The 2024 Florida legislative session does not begin until January.
