HB 1330 -- MEMORIAL BRIDGE AND HIGHWAY

SPONSOR:  Salva

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Transportation by a vote of 13 to 0.

This bill designates the bridge crossing over the Union Pacific
Railroad located on U. S. Highway 24 near Wilson Road in the
Fairmont Business District in the City of Independence in Jackson
County as the "Sergeant Charles R. Long Memorial Bridge" and
designates a portion of U. S. Highway 24 in Jackson County from
the bridge crossing over the Union Pacific Railroad in the
Fairmont Business District of the City of Independence to the
intersection of Noland Road as the "Harry S. Truman Memorial
Highway."

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2011, FY 2012, and
FY 2013.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will provide a fitting
memorial for an individual who earned a silver star during World
War II and lost his life during combat in the Korean War.  This
would be the only memorial bridge and highway combination in the
country named for a medal of honor recipient and the president
who awarded the honor.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Salva.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
