Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1096 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOPED INSTRUCTION PERMITS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to allow persons holding an instruction permit to operate a moped without the accompaniment of an individual who is licensed and older than 21 years of age.  In addition, this measure prohibits persons holding a temporary instruction permit from operating a moped during the hours of darkness or carrying any passengers.

 

     The Department of Transportation, and several concerned individuals testified in support of this bill.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing the effective date to January 7, 2059, to promote further discussion; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1096, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1096, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
