HB 21 - DRIVERS LIC REVOCATION; ALCOHOL/DRUGS
CHAIRMAN GARY DAVIS indicated there was a proposed committee
substitute for HB 21.
Number 024
REPRESENTATIVE TOM BRICE made a motion to adopt the proposed CS.
Number 030
REPRESENTATIVE CYNTHIA TOOHEY, Co-Sponsor, stated that HB 21 is
jointly sponsored by herself and Representative Porter. She stated
the bill "fixes a loophole" in HB 299, which was passed last year.
Representative Toohey explained that under HB 299, the
administrative license revocation can only occur when there has
been a violation of the pertinent state law. She further explained
that HB 21 simply amends the bill to include violations that are
under municipal ordinance. She added that HB 21 has three zero
fiscal notes and is supported by the Department of Public Safety.
Representative Toohey said that Anchorage's acting municipal
prosecutor, is on line and ready to respond to any questions, if
necessary. Representative Toohey addressed the Committee
Substitute. She explained that the intent of the CS was to delete
from line 9, of Section 1. AS 28.15.183(a) of the original bill,
"AS 11.71 or in violation of a municipal ordinance with
substantially similar elements." The CS was designed to eliminate
the above with the exception of "or a municipal ordinance." She
stated that the bill is basically a "housekeeping bill." It has
been successful in Anchorage over the past year and said she would
appreciate any support.
Number 062
CHAIRMAN DAVIS reiterated additional benefits to the proposed CS.
Chairman Davis added that after being a municipal official in the
past, he agreed that benefits a municipality by enabling them to
draft their own rules and regulations. He also added it will cut
down on court cost on the state level.
CHAIRMAN DAVIS indicated that the CS had been adopted. Hearing no
objection, the motion carried.
Number 079
REPRESENTATIVE JEANNETTE JAMES made a motion to pass CSHB 21(TRA),
out of committee with individual recommendations, and with the
attached zero fiscal notes.
Number 083
CHAIRMAN DAVIS asked if there was any objection. There being none,
CSHB 21(TRA) was moved out of the House Transportation Committee.
Number 098
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the House
Transportation Committee, Chairman Davis adjourned the meeting at
1:10 p.m.
