CSSB 180(FIN) - STATE RIGHTS-OF-WAY: RS 2477                                   
                                                                               
CO-CHAIRMAN OGAN announced the first order of business was CSSB
(FIN), "An Act relating to state rights-of-way."                            
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE RAMONA BARNES made a motion to move CSSB 180(FIN)               
from the committee with individual recommendations and attached                
fiscal note(s).                                                                
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE FRED DYSON objected for discussion purposes.  He                
supports the legislation because access is a huge problem for the              
people of Alaska.  However, he is concerned about government taking            
land, the width of the rights-of-way, and the devaluation of                   
private property because of access.  He will recommend to the                  
sponsor a possible amendment.  He removed his objection.                       
                                                                               
CO-CHAIRMAN OGAN asked whether there is any further objection.                 
There being no further objection, CSSB 180(FIN) was so moved from              
the House Resources Standing Committee.
