  CHAIRMAN WARD  called the Senate Transportation Committee meeting to         
 order at 1:30 p.m. and introduced  SB 10  as the first order of               
 business.                                                                     
                                                                               
  SENATOR MACKIE , Prime Sponsor of SB 10, informed the committee that         
 this bill was introduced upon request of the students of Gustavus.            
 The bill is a school project, that has a zero fiscal note.  The               
 bill passed the House last year and the Senate did not have time to           
 get to it before adjourning.  He urged the committee's                        
 consideration of SB 10.                                                       
                                                                               
  SENATOR GREEN  noted that the statute said that roads constructed by         
 the state or the department needs statutory approval.  This road              
 obviously falls into this category.                                           
                                                                               
  SENATOR MACKIE  stated that the statutory requirement was the only           
 reason the bill was before the committee.  There has been no                  
 opposition to the bill.                                                       
                                                                               
  SENATOR GREEN  moved to report SB 10 out of committee with                   
 individual recommendations and attached fiscal notes.  Without                
 objection, it was so ordered.
