HB 933 -- DRIVER'S LICENSES FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL

SPONSOR:  Grill

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Special
Committee on Veterans by a vote of 9 to 0.

This bill allows an application for a driver's license for a
person mobilized and deployed with the United States armed forces
to be signed by a person who holds general power of attorney for
the applicant.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2008, FY 2009, and
FY 2010.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that if a member of the military
deployed overseas loses his or her driver's license, a family
member can't go to a licensing agency and get a duplicate.  It is
ridiculous that a family member who holds power of attorney for
his or her spouse or child serving in the military is unable to
get a duplicate driver's license.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Grill; and Jodi Fox.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
