  HB 138:  LIMITED DRIVERS' LICENSES                                           
                                                                               
  Number 145                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN VEZEY read the title of HB 138 and invited its                      
  prime sponsor, Representative Brian Porter to testify.                       
                                                                               
  Number 155                                                                   
                                                                               
  REPRESENTATIVE BRIAN PORTER, PRIME SPONSOR of HB 138,                        
  explained the bill's intent was to correct a court                           
  interpretation of a bill passed in the 17th Legislature.  He                 
  stated one court's interpretation did not allow second,                      
  fourth, and fifth drunk driving convictions to be allowed                    
  for consideration under the limited drivers' license                         
  statute, and HB 138 would correct that.  He noted HB 138                     
  also provided for cost sharing of the program.                               
                                                                               
  Number 216                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN VEZEY urged members to look carefully at the                        
  complexity of HB 138, and asked for clarification from                       
  Representative Porter.

  the program, as well as the retroactive provisions for                       
  allowing a limited driver's license.

  REPRESENTATIVE B. DAVIS SECONDED the motion.
