SB 132-PROVISIONAL DRIVER'S LICENSE STICKER 9:02:46 AM CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI announced that the first bill before the committee would be SB 132, which would direct the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to produce a "provisional driver's sticker" for Alaskans between the ages of 16 and 18. Last week the committee heard a presentation from Senator Meyer's office, as well as from Jessica Luiken, a young Alaskan who came up with the idea behind the bill. Also, Whitney Brewster, the director of DMV, testified that the bill would have only a minimal fiscal impact on DMV, which could be absorbed into the existing budget. CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI noted that the CS for SB 123, version I, was before the committee, and he requested a motion to adopt version I. 9:03:53 AM SENATOR PASKVAN moved [to adopt the proposed CS for SB 132, labeled 27-LS0799\I, as the working document.] CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI objected for discussion purposes. BOB PAWLOWSKI, staff, Senator Kevin Meyer, explained the changes in version I of SB 132. He related the version I makes two simple changes; it makes the provisional driver sticker movable so it may be used amongst multiple cars, and it reduces the fine for not having a sticker displayed to "up to $200", which is more in alignment with fines for provisional license violations. Since it would not be a moving violation, it would not incur points. CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI asked for the will of the committee. SENATOR MEYER spoke of concerns from rural members regarding issues in the bill. He stated that wherever the provisional driver's license is required, the sticker would also be required. SENATOR KOOKESH reported that in rural Alaska there are many areas that are not within a main road system. Every requirement of a state driver's license applies to rural roads. He did not think those requirements should apply to places like Angoon. He suggested making the sticker optional. He said he did not like the idea of a fine and he requested that it be removed. He suggested the bill was unnecessary. CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI pointed out that the bill has a long way to go. He noted that moving the bill out of committee is not necessarily a statement of support for it. SENATOR MEYER moved to report the CS for SB 132, version I, from committee with individual recommendations and attached zero fiscal note. SENATOR KOOKESH objected. A roll call vote was taken. Senators Giessel, Meyer, Paskvan, and Wielechowski voted in favor of moving SB 132 from committee and Senator Kookesh voted against it. Therefore, the motion passed by a 4:1 vote. CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI announced that CSSB 132(STA) moved from the Senate State Affairs Standing Committee.
