HCS SB 38 -- MEMORIAL HIGHWAYS

SPONSOR:  Nodler (St. Onge)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Transportation by a vote of 14 to 0.

This substitute removes the portion of I-44 in Jasper County from
the designation of the "George Washington Carver Memorial
Highway."  This portion was already designated as the
"Congressmen Gene Taylor Highway" prior to the designation of the
"George Washington Carver Memorial Highway."

The substitute also designates a portion of U. S. 71 at the
intersection of Interstate 44 in Jasper County south to State
Route V in Newton County as the "George Washington Carver
Memorial Highway."

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2006, FY 2007, and
FY 2008.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill corrects an overlap
made previously when naming the Washington Carver and the Gene
Taylor memorial highways.  The "Washington Carver Memorial
Highway" was inadvertently named over a portion of highway
previously named the "Gene Taylor Memorial Highway."

Testifying for the bill was Senator Nodler.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
