  Co-chairman  Halford  explained the  bill.   He  referred to                 
  section 3 the operative section.  It is an optional program.                 
                                                                               
  Juanita Hensley, DMV was invited to join the committee.  She                 
  further  explained  section   3  and  said   the  department                 
  supported the  bill.   It does  not absolutely mandate  that                 
  they  title, but  rather if  there is  application made  the                 
  department shall issue a title.  That is already being done.
