HCS HB 1280 -- COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS

SPONSOR:  Crawford (Kingery)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Transportation and Motor Vehicles by a vote of 18 to 0.

This substitute moves the statutory provisions regulating
commercial motor vehicle registration from the Highway
Reciprocity Commission to the Highways and Transportation
Commission.  The move was necessitated because of reorganization
under the Governor's Executive Order 02-03 (February 7, 2002).

The substitute also allows the Highways and Transportation
Commission to establish procedures for the quarterly staggering
of annual commercial motor vehicle registrations.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that staggering commercial motor
vehicle registrations allows the workload to be distributed
throughout the year for a more efficient operation.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Kingery; and
Department of Transportation

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
