consideration.                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                
MS.  CRYSTAL  MOORE,  staff  to Senator  Cowdery,  said  she  had                                                               
nothing to add and would answer questions.                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR OGAN  arrived and asked if  language on page 3,  line 21,                                                               
means the bill is retroactive.

effective date;  but further on,  if a  person is convicted  of a                                                               
second offense  within the  previous four  years, it  would count                                                               
then.                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                
MS. TAM COOK, Legislative Legal  and Research Division, said that                                                               
was correct.
