Railroad to the Alaska-Canada border."                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                
Co-Chair Mulder Moved to Rescind previous action taken on the bill.                                                             
There being NO OBJECTION, the action was rescinded.  The original bill                                                          
was before the Committee for consideration.                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                
Representative J. Davies MOVED to adopt Amendment #1 into HB 12.                                                                
There being NO OBJECTION, it was adopted.                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                
Representative J. Davies explained that the amended language would be                                                           
placed in a different portion of the statute.  Legal Counsel believes                                                           
that it would make more sense to place it in the section as                                                                     
recommended in Amendment #1.                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
There being NO OBJECTION, Amendment #1 was adopted.

Co-Chair Therriault pointed out that the previous Committee Report
