CHAIRMAN HALFORD brought HB 445 am (DWI LAWS) before the committee e
as the next order of business. He stated Senator Robin Taylor was
present to speak to a proposed Rules SCS, which incorporates a
number of items contained in other pieces of legislation.
SENATOR ROBIN TAYLOR distributed a letter from the Canadian Mothers
Against Drunk Driving and noted Canada has had 0.08 legislation in
place for many years. The letter states that over 0.08 legislation
may well distract from putting law enforcement efforts where they
will be most effective, namely on repeat offenders and those with
a very high blood alcohol count. He pointed out that the Finance
SCS changes the level from 0.10 to 0.08.
Senator Taylor advocates that a felony be imposed on third time
offenders and for the seizure and forfeiture of vehicles on repeat
offenders. Both of those provisions were removed from the Finance
SCS. The Rules SCS places the seizure and forfeiture provision
back in, as well as it provides that the court may order as a
condition of probation that the person take antabuse or a similar
drug intended to prevent consumption of alcoholic beverages.
SENATOR RIEGER moved that SCS HB 445(RLS) be adopted. Hearing no
objection, the motion carried.
SENATOR RIEGER moved that SCS HB 445(RLS) be passed out of
committee with individual recommendations. Hearing no objection,
it was so ordered.
SENATOR RIEGER moved and asked unanimous consent that SCS HB
445(RLS) be approved for calendaring at the Chair's discretion.
Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the
meeting was adjourned at 1:45 p.m.
