 CHAIRMAN RIEGER called the Senate Transportation meeting to order             
 at 1:43 p.m. and introduced  HB 498  as the first order of business           
 before the committee.                                                         
                                                                               
 SENATOR LINCOLN informed the committee that Representative Kubina             
 was not present today and asked her to carry HB 498 for him.                  
 HB 498 names a bridge in Valdez.  There is a zero fiscal note.  She           
 also pointed out that the city of Valdez has endorsed the naming of           
 the Betty Cato Bridge which is the bridge over the mineral creek on           
 West Egan Drive.  Senator Lincoln moved that HB 498 be moved out of           
 committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying zero           
 fiscal note.                                                                  
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN RIEGER asked if anyone present wanted to testify on                  
 HB 498.  Hearing no one, he asked if there was any objection to               
 moving the bill from committee.                                               
                                                                               
 Hearing no objection, HB 498 was forwarded out of committee.
