Senator O'Donnell open the meeting on Senate Bill (S.B.) 49.

SENATE BILL 49:	Repeals provision authorizing dealer of 
vehicles to register certain number of 
vehicles without payment of privilege tax.  
(BDR 43-900)

Senator O'Donnell explained that Ray Sparks testified that the 
intent of the bill is to express the concern of dealers abusing 
the dealers special registration.  They never register a 
vehicle.  They use the special dealers plate and never pay the 
privilege tax or registration fees.  The bill eliminates the 
special plate.


SENATOR JACOBSEN MOVED TO DO PASS S.B. 49.

SENATOR NEAL SECONDED THE MOTION.

THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

Senator O'Donnell said our committee had dealt with S.B. 322 
with regards to insurance notifications.

SENATE BILL 322:	Revises requirements for maintaining proof of 
financial responsibility after reinstatement 
or restoration of driver's license, permit or 
registration.  (BDR 43-1468)

Senator O'Donnell asked Senator Townsend for the authority to 
amend  the bill.

Senator Randolph Townsend testified that two people in this 
building have gone to court after being notified that they did 
not have insurance, proven that they did have insurance and 
still could not avoid the $50 fine.

Senator O'Donnell said this needs to be addressed.  He asked if 
the bill has passed to the Assembly floor.  

Senator Townsend said maybe an amendment could be gotten on the 
Assembly floor and the Senate could just concur with it.

Senator O'Donnell agreed.

Senator Townsend said if a person can prove they have insurance 
they should not have to pay the fine.









Senator O'Donnell closed the meeting at 12:40 p.m.

RESPECTFULLY
