HB 1704, HCA 1 -- PROOF OF LAWFUL PRESENCE

SPONSOR:  St. Onge

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

This bill exempts individuals who are 65 years of age or older
and have previously been issued a Missouri noncommercial driver's
license, noncommercial instruction permit, or nondriver's license
from showing proof of lawful presence at the time of renewal.

HCA 1 -- Adds an emergency clause.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will help people 65
years of age or older because this segment of society has the
most problems obtaining or possessing a birth certificate.

Testifying for the bill were Representative St. Onge; AARP; and
Department of Revenue.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
