The existing definition, which is specific to only AS28.35.030, is repealed and is replaced by the same definition located in a general definition section for AS28.35.029- 28.35.039. In my State of the State address on January 12, 1993, I identified "alcoholism, along with the abuse of other drugs," as "Alaska's number one health problem." I reiterated my commitment to dealing with this issue in my State of the State address this year, as well. This proposed legislation gives police and prosecutors the tools they need to combat the significant highway safety problem presented by those drivers who use drugs and then cause fatal or serious injury accidents. I urge your favorable action on this bill. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J.
