SB 770 -- MEMORIAL HIGHWAY SPONSOR: Nodler COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on Transportation and Motor Vehicles by a vote of 20 to 0. This bill removes the portion of Interstate 44 in Jasper County from the designation of "George Washington Carver Memorial Highway." This portion of Interstate 44 was already designated as the "Congressman Gene Taylor Highway" prior to the creation of the "George Washington Carver Memorial Highway." FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and FY 2007. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that the bill will correct last year's legislation that inadvertently overlapped the highway's designations. Testifying for the bill was Senator Nodler. OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee. Robert Triplett, Legislative Analyst
