HB 423-TAXICAB DRIVER LIABILITY Number 2221 CHAIR WEYHRAUCH announced the next order of business was HOUSE BILL NO. 423, "An Act relating to accidents involving the vehicle of a person under the influence of an alcoholic beverage; and providing for an effective date." Number 2227 REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG moved to adopt the committee substitute (CS) for HB 423, Version 23-LS1600\H, Luckhaupt, 3/8/04, as a work draft. There being no objection, Version H was before the committee. Number 2245 REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG pointed out the following changes that had been incorporated into Version H: On page 2, line 4, after the phrase "motor vehicle owner", the words "or operator" had been added; and a sunset clause was added [on page 2, line 26]. He remarked that the effective date, which had been Section 3 of Version D, was no longer there. [The effective date, which was Section 3 of Version D, had inadvertently been removed.] REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG indicated that any other work that needs to be done on HB 423 should be done in the House Judiciary Standing Committee. REPRESENTATIVE SEATON stated that his notes do not reflect that the effective date had been removed by the committee at a previous meeting. CHAIR WEYHRAUCH said that although he does not see notations regarding the removal of the effective date in his notes, he has no problem with its removal. REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG asked the sponsor's staff whether or not he wants the effective date in the bill. CHAIR WEYHRAUCH said [the effective date] would be 90 days after "signature or passage" of the bill. Number 2360 JIM SHINE, Staff to Representative Tom Anderson, Alaska State Legislature, on behalf of Representative Anderson, sponsor, stated that although he doesn't remember discussion regarding the removal of the effective date, he agrees with Chair Weyhrauch. Number 2370 REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG suggested an amendment to ratify the removal of the effective date clause. There being no objection, it was so ordered. Number 2375 REPRESENTATIVE GRUENBERG moved to report CSHB 423, [Version 23- LS1600\H, Luckhaupt, 3/8/04, as amended, with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes]. There being no objection, CSHB 423(STA) was reported out of the House State Affairs Standing Committee. TAPE 04-33, SIDE B Number 2380 CHAIR WEYHRAUCH restated the motion [in case it had been cut off by the end of the tape].
