HB 1538 -- DRIVER'S LICENSE QUALIFICATIONS

SPONSOR:  Dusenberg

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Public Safety by a vote of 12 to 0.

This bill adds any emergency medical technician licensed pursuant
to Chapter 190, RSMo, to the list of individuals who can report
to the Department of Revenue any person diagnosed or assessed as
having a disorder or condition that may prevent him or her from
safely operating a motor vehicle in order to provide the
department director with good cause to believe that the operator
is incompetent or unqualified to retain his or her driver's
license.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2011, FY 2012, and
FY 2013.

Missouri citizens by allowing licensed emergency medical
technicians to report individuals who they perceive to be a
danger on our roadways.
