 SENATOR TAYLOR returned SB 279 (DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED LAWS) to            
 committee and noted a Judiciary Committee substitute has been                 
 prepared, even though it is a Governor's bill.                                
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR reviewed some concerns in the committee with the               
 accident that occurred in Anchorage where a multiple DWI offender             
 had killed a woman and her daughter.  The committee felt the need             
 for something more thus the increase the penalty for a third time             
 offender to a Class C felony.  He said the legislation also                   
 provided for forfeiture provisions for a vehicle used in the                  
 commitment of a crime.                                                        
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR moved to adopt CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 279(JUD)                 
 (version Ford, 4/22/94).  Without objections, so ordered.                     
                                                                               
 SENATOR HALFORD moved to pass CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 279(JUD)                 
 (DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED LAWS) from committee with individual               
 recommendations.  Without objections, so ordered.
