          ACR 99 (Jones) - Border Patrol Agent Eric Norman Cabral Memorial  
          Bridge.
          
          Amended: As introduced          Policy Vote: T&H 11-0
          Urgency: No                     Mandate: No

          This bill does not meet the criteria for referral to the  
          Suspense File. 

          
          Bill Summary: ACR 99 would designate the Round Mountain Bridge  
          on Interstate 8 in San Diego County as the "Border Patrol Agent  
          Eric Norman Cabral Memorial Bridge."

          Fiscal Impact: No state costs.  All costs for Caltrans to erect  
          signage to be covered by donations from non-state sources.

          Background: This measure would honor the memory of Agent Cabral,  
          a member of the United States Border Patrol who died of  
          heat-related injuries on July 26, 2007 while on duty in  
          Boulevard, CA.  Agent Cabral and his partner had been tracking a  
          group of suspected undocumented immigrants on foot through the  
          rocky and mountainous terrain north of Interstate 8 and Carrizo  
          Gorge Road.  He was found unconscious and was pronounced dead  
          after being flown to a hospital.  It appeared that Agent Cabral  
          died of dehydration or heat stroke.

          Proposed Law: ACR 99 would designate the Round Mountain Bridge  
          on Interstate 8 in San Diego County as the "Border Patrol Agent  
          Eric Norman Cabral Memorial Bridge."  This resolution requests  
          the Department of Transportation to determine the cost of  
          appropriate signs, consistent with the signage requirements for  
          the state highway system, and erect those signs upon receiving  
          sufficient donations to cover the costs.  All costs to erect the  
          signs are covered by donations from non-state sources.
