Committee reports bill to designate I-220 span in Caddo Parish as American Legion Post No. 14 Memorial Bridge

The House Transportation Committee reported House Bill 130 with amendments on March 17, a measure that redesignates the elevated portion of Interstate 220 in Caddo Parish as the American Legion Post Number 14 Memorial Bridge.

Miss Champagne presented the amendment packet for HB 130 (identified in the record as 1614), and members adopted an amendment that adds the words "Memorial Bridge" to the bridge’s name. Representative Walters, the bill’s sponsor, spoke in support and noted her family’s military service and ties to Post Number 14, invited members to a June Flotilla event and emphasized the proposal’s community and veterans’ recognition purpose.

Representative Walters moved to report the bill with amendments; hearing no objections, the committee reported HB 130 with the adopted amendments. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or further implementation details.
