SB 231 - NAMING ALASKA NATIVE VETERANS' HONOR BRIDGE CHAIRMAN HALCRO announced the first order of business as Senate Bill 231, "An Act naming the Alaska Native Veterans' Honor Bridge." Number 0076 ANNE LANDRUM, Staff to Senator Georgianna Lincoln, Alaska State Legislature, came before the committee to present the bill on behalf of the sponsor. This piece of legislation is fairly simple. It intends to bring recognition to a group of veterans who have not been formally recognized before. It follows the efforts of the federal government made in 1998 when they honored Alaska Native and American Indian veterans. This group, she explained, has had the highest service record of any ethnic group in the country. This legislation would simply recognize that service. Attached to the bill is a zero fiscal note from the Department of Transportation & Public Facilities, along with a great number of cosponsors from the Senate. Number 0204 CHAIRMAN HALCRO inquired as to whether or not anybody from the audience and teleconference network would like to testify. There was no response. CHAIRMAN HALCRO closed the meeting to public testimony, and asked for a motion to move the bill out of committee. Number 0212 REPRESENTATIVE BEVERLY MASEK made a motion to move SB 231 out of committee with individual recommendations and attached zero fiscal note; she asked unanimous consent. There being no objection, SB 231 so moved from the House Transportation Standing Committee.
