A
Okay,
good
morning
welcome
to
meeting
five
of
the
standing
committee
on
transportation,
the
kentucky
state
senate.
Madame
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll
we'll
call
this
meeting
to
order.
B
A
President,
I
will
remind
senator
berg
and
senator
yates
you're,
not
on
campus.
You
will
be
able
to
participate,
but
not
vote,
and
thank
you
all
for
being
with
us
this
morning
appreciate
you.
I
will
entertain.
We
do
have
a
quorum
entertain,
a
motion
for
approval
of
the
minutes
for
march
3rd.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all
right,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
post
meetings
minutes
are
approved
and
we
have
a
packed
agenda

So
we'll

right
to
it.
A
That's
I
should
say
chairman,
I'm
sorry,
please
identify
yourself
for
the
record
correctly
and
and
please
proceed.
F
F
Okay,
I'll
be
very
brief
with
this
bill,
this
is
the
same
bill
we
had
last
year
it
developed
covid
when
we
all
left
jay.
If
you
want
to
be
very
very
brief,
because
we
have
a
packed
agenda.
G
Yeah
this
is
the
the
three-wheel
motorcycle
licensing
bill,
senator
hornbach
sponsored
it
last
session
and
passed
unanimously
and
made
the
consent
calendar.
You
know
it.
It
also
mirrors
some
of
the
provisions
mirrors
senate
bill
131,
which
also
you.
A
E
D
A
A
Okay,
the
the
bill
carries
eight
zero
and
we
have
a
motion
for
consent,
which
is
in
order.
I
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor,
of
putting
this
on
consent
signified
by
saying
eye
eyes.
Have
it?
A
F
A
H
Committee,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
present
439
today
house
bill
439.
I
am
kim
mosher
for
the
record
state
representative
from
the
64th
district,
and
I
have
several
guests
with
me
today.
A
H
H
This
is
a
very
common
sense
piece
of
legislation
that
will
save
lives
by
ensuring
that
kentuckians
have
the
the
necessary
visual
acuity
to
operate
motor
vehicles.
42
states
have
requirements
for
vision.
Screenings
during
driver's
license,
renewals
and
kentucky
requires
a
visual
screening
when
a
citizen
first
receives
their
license,
usually
when
they're
young,
but
does
not
require
free
renewals
as
citizens
age.
We
know
that
individuals,
visual
acuity
changes
as
they
age,
indiana,
illinois,
missouri,
ohio,
west
virginia
and
virginia
all
states
contiguous
to
kentucky.
H
Have
this
provision
and
without
a
doubt
in
the
states
who
have
this,
there
are
lessened
fatalities.
Car
accidents
and
hospitalization
rates
are
lower.
The
state
transportation
cabinet
supports
this
bill.
We
have
worked
for
several
years
to
get
this
right.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
department
of
transportation
on
and
their
whole
team
on
this,
this
great
piece
of
legislation.
H
A
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second.
We
have
any
any
any
questions
so
far,
and
I
know
you
have
some
folks
that
want
to
weigh
in
on
this.
If
you
want
to.
D
Thank
you,
representative
moser,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
your
efforts
in
this
legislation.
My
question,
I
guess
just
for
the
record
too,
will
there
be
the
requirement
of
vision,
tests
each
and
every
time
they
have
to
renew
their
driver's
license
and
if
so,
how
often
is
that
done
under
kentucky
current
kentucky
law
and
then
have
we
considered
the
additional
cost
of
implementing
that.
H
Thank
you.
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
question.
H
We
decided
to
for
ease
of
of
use
and
convenience
to,
and
just
so
that
individuals
remember
to
do
this,
that
they
will
require
a
there
will
be
a
requirement
for
a
vision,
screening,
each
and
every
time
you
renew,
we
are
moving
to
real
id
and
so
folks
have
a
choice
as
to
whether
or
not
that's
every
four
years
or
every
eight
years
so,
and
the
department
of
transportation
is
moving
to
a
dmv
model,
and
so
during
that
process
there
are
our
cost
shifts
in
in
just
updating
the
office.
H
Generally
speaking,
there
are
costs
for
real
ids.
There
may
be
some
nominal
costs
for
adding
equipment,
but
we
have
added
a
provision
that
allows
individuals
if
they've
been
to
their
optometrist
or
ophthalmologist
or
primary
care
pro
provider
through
the
year
that
they
can
bring
a
form
with
them.
So
I
I
really
think
that
the
cost
will
be
nominal.
I
would
invite
commissioner
cole
to
maybe
elaborate
on
that
question.
A
little
bit.
H
Maybe
not
well,
the
the
department
of
transportation
has
looked
closely
at
this
and
they
really
don't
feel
that
it's
going
to
be
more
than
a
couple
of
dollars
per
exam
and
that
would
be
rolled
into
the
total
cost
of
of
renewals.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
representative
mosher.
I
want
to
congratulate
you
on
getting
the
ophthalmologist
and
the
optometrist
together
on
a
bill,
because
I
remember
11
years
ago
when
I
came
in
here,
and
they
were
vehemently
opposed
to
each
other.
I
think
that's
quite
an
accomplishment,
but
I
I
really
welcome
this
bill.
I
A
A
I
know
it
was
worked
on
by
the
cabinet
and
mainly
some
concerns
about
the
state
police,
about
about
testing
but
and
get
somebody
from
the
cabinet
on
to
weigh
in
because
a
lot
of
this
language,
I
think,
is
not
your
language,
it's
their
language,
but
on
page
two
line
22
it
talks
about
who
can
perform
these
vision,
testing
that
that
will
be
that
you
can
use
when
you
bring
them
into
to
get
your
license,
and
it
says
if
you
look
at
line
22.
H
So
that
the
committee
sub,
until
we
maybe
get
someone
from
the
cabinet-
but
they
did
look
at
that-
that
the
committee
sub
is
language
from
the
kentucky
state
police,
and
that
was
just
clarifying
language
to
to
really
outline
when
they
are
performing
the
exams
versus
when
individuals
bring
the
form
in
the
credentialing
is
a
standardized
process
that
the
cabinet
will
work
on
with
vision,
specialists,
it's
in
dr
burns
and
and
dr
hudson,
you
might
be
able
to
weigh
in
on
visual
acuity
and
exactly
what
we're
looking
for.
J
Right
well,
yes,
the
the
the
screening
would
be
is
that
the
person
would
have
to
seek
20
40
in
both
eyes
and
they'd
have
to
pass
a
peripheral
vision
test,
which
is
just
a
screening
test
and
if
they
didn't
pass
either
one
of
those
they'd
be
referred
to
a
vision
specialist
so
that
that's
kind
of
where
we're
going
from
that
screening
standpoint
right.
A
J
Not
a
vision,
specialist,
an
optometrist
ophthalmologist
is
already
trained
to
do
this
type
of
thing,
so
they
wouldn't
have
to
be
credentialed
through
the
transportation
department.
It'd
be
nurse
practitioners
and
other
medical
specialists
that
would
have
to
be
credentialed,
but
not
optometrists
or
ophthalmologists.
If
you
get,
if
you
get
your
eyes
examined
within
that
year,
by
an
optometrist
or
ophthalmologist,
you
can
get
your
form
filled
out
by
them
and
take
it
when
you
get
your
license
renewed
and
that
would
suffice.
K
Thank
you,
mr
mr
chairman.
I
I
guess
my
question
will
be
directed
at
department.
We
give
kids
the
opportunity
to
start
driving
when
they're
16
and
I'm
in
that
group
that
my
good
friend
center
over
here
was
talking
about
that's
old
and
still
driving
see,
but
I'm
trying
to
calculate
there's,
there's
going
to
be
some
many
times
between
a
16
year
old
and
a
my
age-year-old
getting
their
driver's
license
renewed.
K
H
Well,
I
would
just
say
that
individuals
can
develop
eye
and
vision
issues
at
any
point
in
their
life.
Certainly
we
we
know
that,
as
you
age,
your
vision,
visual
acuity,
does
diminish,
but
I
would
again
allow
our
physicians
to
weigh
in
on
on
actual
statistics
of
younger
persons.
B
J
So
I
do
have
some
statistics
on
states
that
require
regular
vision,
screenings
for
all
renewal
applicants,
the
states
that
have
the
lowest
crash
rates
seven
require
regular
screening,
vision
for
all
renewal
applicants,
hawaii
mass
new
hampshire,
new
york
and
three
of
those
states
mandate
that
drivers
receive
a
vision,
screening
and
a
minimum
frequency
of
five
years.
So
there
is
some
data
out
there
suggesting
that
if
you
you
extend
that
screening
to
all
applicants,
the
crash
rates
are
lower
in
those
states.
K
Okay,
can
mr
chairman,
follow
up.
A
K
As
just
a
fourth
thought,
I
would
request
that
if
we
do
pass
this
bill
and
I'm
not
trying
to
be
an
obstructionist,
but
we
try
to
keep
some
statistical
information
with
age
that
there's
a
change
because
I
see
the
expense
over
a
lifetime
of
somebody
like
me,
that's
lived
that
lifetime
is
going
to
have,
and
I
now
understand
at
my
age
that
I
have
to
get
my
eyes
examined
regularly
and
do
but
I'd
like
to
see
some
information
down
the
road
for
the
public
to
be
aware
that
whether
we
do
or
do
not
need
young
people
over
those
years
to
get
their
eyes
tested
every
four
years.
K
A
L
I
want
to
thank
the
representative
for
this
bill
because
one
of
the
things
I
hear
from
my
father
most
often
is
you
know
I
do
an
eye
exam
for
somebody
and
and
they
don't
need
to
be
driving,
but
you
know
I
it's
you
know,
he's
afraid
of
either
hipaa
violations
or
anything
else
to
really
take
action
on
this,
so
I
mean,
I
think
it
kind
of
takes
the
responsibility
off
of
a
lot
of
physicians
for
taking
this
difficult
step,
and
it
creates,
I
think,
a
fundamental
policy,
that's
fair
and
then
also
just
from
my
general
familiarity,
I
mean
there's
eye
diseases
that
can
start
to
affect
all
ages.
L
So
I
think
not
only
is
this
making
our
roads
safer.
I
think
it
has
some
public
health
benefits
by
encouraging
or
essentially
compelling
people
to
get
fairly
regular
eye
exams
so
that
you
know
that
those
diseases
can
be
gone
early
because
the
earlier
you
catch
them,
the
more
likely
they
are
to
be
treatable
and
save
people's
vision.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
representative
for
this
good
bill.
A
Thank
you
and,
and
my
favorite
driver's
license
person
is
on
the
on
on
on
with
us.
Sarah
jackson.
M
I'm
I
just
wanted
to
raise
my
hand
and
let
you
know
senator
that
I
was
jumping
in
for
commissioner
cole
and
if
anyone
had
more
questions
of
the
cabinet,
I
will
help,
but
I'm
sorry
about
that
glitch
there.
I
think
he
must
be
having
some
technical
difficulties.
So
if
there
are
any
questions
I'll
do
my
best.
A
Okay,
I
do
have
some
questions
for
you.
The
we're
gonna
have
equipment
in
these
in
our
regional
offices
to
do
do
this
testing
and
we're
going
to
charge
it
says
a
a
reasonable
fee.
Do
you
have
any
idea
what
that
fee
will
look
like.
M
At
this
time
we
don't
have
any
cost
estimates,
and
part
of
that
is
because
the
implementation
date
of
the
bill
is
a
little
off
in
the
future
technology.
We
want
to
be
able
to
use
the
latest
and
best
technology
and
we
need
to
assess
how
many
people
are
coming
through.
How
many
are
you
know
using
it?
M
M
M
I
personally
have
not
sir.
I
know
that
that
virginia
has
a
form
of
vision,
testing
pro
and
has
for
some
time.
I'm
not
sure
tennessee
has
any
vision
testing
at
this
point,
so
I
can't
I
I
really
can't
answer
with
any
great
certainty.
A
One
one
last
thing
I
do
want
to
ask:
we
we
still-
and
I
made
the
senator
turner-
brought
it
up
about
every
four
years.
Now,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
we
have
the,
I
guess,
the
real
id.
That's
that
driver's
license.
That's
renewable
every
eight
years
we
have
a
standard
driver's
license,
that's
renewable
every
eight
years
and
we
have
a
standard
driver's
license.
That's
renewable
every
four
years
is
that
correct.
M
A
M
A
Probably
should
help
the
applicant
out
and
take
that
four-year
option
out
if
this,
if
eye
exam,
is
going
to
be
required
upon
renewal-
and
I
think
that
would
that
would
be.
That
would
be
my
my
suggestion
because
I
think
that
is
the
intent
when
you
ask
about
the
intent
of
this
is
to
make
sure
that
they're
examined.
You
know
they
were
basing
on
the
real
id
with
them.
Now,
personally,
I
don't
have
a
real
id.
A
I
voted
against
it,
so
I
still
have
the
standard
id
kind
of
painted
myself
in
a
corner
on
that.
But
that's
that's
just
me.
A
A
M
H
H
Chairman
I
I
notice
that
commissioner
cole
is
also
with
us.
A
Okay,
we'll
go
to
wendy
fletcher.
B
B
So
if
patients,
this
has
an
added
benefit
of
bringing
more
patients
to
the
office
to
get
their
preventative
care
screenings,
which
most
insurance
does
not
charge
anything
to
the
patient.
For
so
we're
getting
the
added
health
benefit
of
getting
kentuckians
into
their
primary
care
offices
to
get
those
preventative
care
screenings,
including
the
vision
screening,
and
then
we
could
sign
those
papers
for
them
and
there
would
be
no
additional
screening
costs
for
those
patients.
So
there
is
a
potential
for
the
patients
to
get
both
their
annual
health
exam
and
their
vision.
Screening
for
free.
B
I
think
there
is
consistency
with
that,
both
coming
from
the
primary
care
office,
the
vision,
screener,
the
vision
specialist
office
or
from
the
department
in
that
anyone
who
would
fail
those
routine
screenings
would
then
be
referred
to
their
optometrist
or
ophthalmologist.
So
I
do
feel
like
there
is
good
consistency
there.
Okay,.
A
N
N
We
initially
put
the
legislation
for
real
id
to
be
eight
years
only
and
during
the
the
first
couple
years
of
this
program,
we
got
a
lot
of
pushback
from
a
lot
of
citizens
that
didn't
like
the
the
increased
cost
of
an
eight
year.
So
since
the
programming
was
already
done,
we
made
the
four
year
and
eight
eight
year
option
available
to
everything,
but
a
cdl
for
cdls.
N
We
did
want
to
keep
them
on
the
road
as
long
as
possible,
but
we
found
that
the
four
year
and
eight
year
option
has
become
very
popular
with
a
lot
of
the
states.
So
if
at
all
possible,
we
would
like
to
keep
those
options
because
it
gives
people
the
ability
for
either
a
long
term
license
or
a
short
term
and
a
reduced
cost.
So
just
just
to
let
you
know
what
we've
seen
on
that:
okay.
A
Representative
moser,
this
doesn't
go
into
effect
until
2024
correct
that.
E
H
I
I
don't
really
see
that
any
you
know
any
additional
cost
would
be
incurred
unless
the
transportation
department-
you
know
unless
it's
revealed
that
that
we
have
additional
costs,
individuals
would
be
able
to.
You
know
either
get
their
screening
at
their
practitioners,
their
primary
care
or
optometrist
ophthalmologist
office
or
through
dmp.
E
Do
any
of
the
physicians
know
what
a
standard
office
visit
would
cost,
though.
J
J
J
Well,
it
varies
based
on
you
know
what
what
the
practitioner
charges
it
can
vary,
probably
anywhere
from
50
to
150,
depending
on
what
they
set
their
own
costs
at.
So
it
varies
based
on
your
own
practice.
H
Exactly
and
it
that'll
be
individualized
too
I
mean,
depending
on
the
the
persons,
the
patients
issues,
the
you
know,
vision
issues,
but
for
the
initial
screening
I
mean
it's
it's
a
session,
essentially
the
snellen
exam,
the
eye
chart
that
we've
all
seen
and
peripheral
vision
testing.
So
it's
it's
not
an
extensive
extensive
exam
at
all.
A
Well,
walk
me
through
what
will
happen,
I
go
in
to
renew
my
driver's
license
and
the
the
department
of
dmv
I
go
in
and
they
have
the
equipment
there
and
they
do
the
the
the
routine
eye
exam
that
they
do
and
I've.
I
I
fail
that
eye
exam
walk
me
through
what
happens
next.
C
Good
morning,
sir,
thank
you
representative
moser.
Thank
you.
Everybody
he's
here
this
morning,
interesting
interesting
conversation.
I
do
have
do
have
some
questions.
I
understand
that
they
would
be
doing
a
very
rudimentary
screening
exam
visual
field,
defects
acuity
from
there.
What
I
understand
is
you
would
not
be
able
to
renew.
You
would
have
to
go
to
an
optima,
ophthalmologist
or
optometrist.
C
My
understanding
is
that
medicare
does
not
cover
the
cost
of
refraction
and
there
are
ophthalmologists
and
optometrists
in
the
room
who
could
confirm
or
refute
that
for
me,
but
my
understanding.
This
is
not
covered
under
medicare
and
I
do
not
believe
the
cost
of
glasses
are
covered
under
medicare.
So
my
question:
is
there
an
equity
impact
with
this
bill
that
needs
to
be
considered
and
discussed?
That's
my
question.
J
J
So
it
depends
on
the
insurance
carrier,
but
but
a
lot
of
them
do
cover
the
refraction
fee,
but
medicare
does
not
now
medicare
does
cover
the
cost
of
a
percentage
of
the
cost
of
glasses
after
cataract
surgery,
but
not
for
routine
re
for
routine
glasses,
but
after
cataract
surgery
they
do
cover
part
of
the
costs.
O
And
if
I
can
add
on
to
that,
we're
seeing
an
increasing
number
of
medicare
advantage
plans
that
come
with
a
vision
rider
with
them
that
would
cover
refractions
and
actually
materials
such
as
glasses
and
then
also
just
want
to
add
that
our
medicaid
program
also
covers
glasses
for
anyone
insured.
Under
that
thanks.
O
A
Okay,
so
you
so
your
tests,
all
of
our
medicaid
plans
in
kentucky
all
the
all
of
them
are,
will
cover
the
cost
of
the
glasses,
if
required,.
D
A
We
have
a
motion.
I
need
a
second
second
okay.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
committee,
the
the
bill,
as
amended
by
the
committee
sub.
That's
on
house
bill,
439
439,
as
amended
by
the
committee
sub,
madam
clerk.
Please
call
call
the
roll.
A
E
E
We've
heard
testimony
that,
although
this
is
going
to
go
into
effect
july
of
2024,
there's
needs
to
be
investigations
as
to
the
costs
associated,
and
my
concern
is
also
about
individuals
who,
for
whatever
reason
they
may
live
in
an
area
where
they've
just
gotten
out
of
jail,
or
they
don't
have
medical
insurance.
At
the
moment
they
still
get
go,
get
their
driver's
license
and
they
may
have
costs
associated
with
the
screening
or
exam
or
corrective
lenses
that
they
can't
afford,
but
again,
for
today's
purposes,
I'll
go
ahead
and
vote.
I.
K
I'm
going
to
vote,
I
based
upon
the
fact
that
we've
got
some
more
years
to
look
at
it.
You
all
can
look
that
that
statistical
information
in
that
time
period
also-
and
if,
if
I
understand
it,
the
simple
testing
that's
going
to
be
done
is
basically
the
one
where
they
put
the
things
over
your
eyes,
they're
not
going
to
be
examining
your
ophthalmology
or
optometrist
type
examination.
So
I'm
going
to
vote.
I
based
on
that,
mr
chairman.
L
This
is
a
good
bill,
although
I
believe
some
of
the
financial
considerations
mentioned
are
important,
there's
also
a
multitude
of
of
charity
organizations
that
cover
the
cost
of
eye
exams,
and
things
like
that.
L
D
A
Aye
motion
carries
seven
to
no
no,
no
votes,
like
I
said,
motion
carries
in
house
bill.
439
shall
be
reported,
favorably.
A
I'm
going
I'm
going
to
ask
if
we
not
put
that
on
consent
this
this
bill,
probably
it's
a
it's
a
major
piece
of
legislation
and
we
should
discuss
it
on
the
senate
floor.
Okay,
thank.
H
A
A
So
good
morning,
representative
reed,
please
introduce
yourself
for
the
record
and
the
floor
is
yours
and
your
guest
needs
no
introduction,
but
she
can
introduce
herself
also
for
the
record.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity.
I'm
brandon
reed,
representing
the
24th
house
district,
that's
green
larue
and
marion
counties,
and
I
see
I
add
another
brandon
to
the
mix
today
in
the
room.
So
I
know
you
usually
have
three
brandon's
in
the
room.
Now
you
have
four
so
and
my
guest
can
introduce
herself.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
house,
bill
199
updates
the
state's
laws
on
encroachment.
It
expands
the
definition
of
encroachment
and
adds
penalties
for
contractors
who
do
not
adhere
to
the
rules.
The
bill
helps
local
communities
and
states,
ensure
people
working
on
or
near
our
roads
do
so
in
a
safe
manner
and
communicate
with
local
authorities
on
the
impact
of
the
project
could
have
on
traffic
and
nearby
neighborhoods.
At
this
time,
I'll
yield
to
my
guests.
P
This
issue
was
raised
by
some
of
our
cities
that
had
some
issues
with
contractors
not
correctly
obtaining
the
permits,
and
so
it
created
public
safety
issues.
We
worked
diligently
with
the
contractors
association
and
also
with
the
department
of
transportation
representative
reed
filed
this
bill
last
year
and
because
of
covett
and
the
way
it
worked
out,
it
was
caught
up
in
that
process.
So
we
filed
the
exact
same
bill
again
this
year.
A
Any
questions
of
representative
reed
and
and
brianna
brianna,
I
did
have
a
question
myself
on
on
page
two
line:
four
about
the
about
the
the
fines.
A
The
fines
would
be
collected
by
the
city
or
county
who
who
does
a
citation
or
or
cites
the
company
for
the
violation,
but
there's
there's
a
concern,
but
the
state
has
to
correct
the
violation
or
remove
the
the
so
there's
there.
I
think
there's
some
concern
about
that.
Can
you
can
you
weigh
in
on
that?
Please.
P
We
worked
with
several
members
of
of
the
department
and
they
specifically
asked
for
this
because
they
said
that
currently
they
are
issuing
the
violations
and
that's
something-
that's
not
different
for
them,
but
they
did
not
have
a
mechanism
to
collect
the
fine.
So
we
said
we
would
be
happy
to
do
that
and
limited
the
expenditure
to
only
the
infrastructure
or
public
public
safety
for
for
the
expenses.
A
About
that
senator
wheeler,
do
you
have
a
question.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
who's
responsible
for
the
fine
say
if
it's
a
homeowner
that
hires
a
contract,
the
contractor
says
he's
gone
through
all
the
proper
permitting
processes,
but
he
hasn't.
Is
it
the
contractor
that
gets
cited
or
is
it
the
homeowner.
P
A
K
A
A
Representative
wesley,
please
proceed
we're
on
a
tight
time
schedule
and
I
think
you
probably
have
some
guests
with
you
so.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
My
name
is
bill
wesley
state
representative
for
district
91.
Thank
you
for
having
me
this
morning.
I
appreciate
all
of
our
veterans.
Yeah.
Q
A
And
we
have
a
motion
by
senator
wheeler
second
by
senator
wilson,
all
in
favor
of
approval
that
or
the
motion
on
the
committee's
adoption
of
the
committee
sub
signified
by
saying
I
opposed
the
sub
is
adopted.
Please
proceed.
Q
Unfortunately,
I
kind
of
leave
these
guys
out,
but
they
speak
so
much
for
our
veterans,
which
is
general
bullard,
general
adams
and
I'd
like
to
introduce
mr
kenny
bishop,
if
he's
on
with
us
today,
but
that
what
this
house
bill
is
about,
it's
a
driver's
license
for
our
military
and
before
I
turn
and
yield
my
time
over
to
general
bullard,
I
would
like
to
say
that
we
have
75
colleges
in
the
state
of
kentucky.
Q
Only
34
out
of
that
75
or
31
has
recorded
a
little
over
217
000
students,
so
in
other
words,
there
is
41
colleges
that
has
not
recorded
how
many
students
they
have
in
the
state
of
kentucky.
So
in
other
words,
we
have
over
200
college
students
that
is
coming
to
kentucky
that
is
driving
on
driver's
license.
That
has
been
given
permission,
and
so
what
this
house
bill
is
allowing
our
military
to
do
the
same
thing.
So
I
would
like
to
yield
my
time
over
the
general
board
if
he
would
and
explain
this
house
bill
277.
R
Well,
thank
you
representative
wesley
good
morning,
mr
chair
senators.
Representatives.
Always
a
pleasure
pleasure
to
deal
with
you
and
representative
wesley
is
right.
Kentucky
exempts
college
students
that
are
here
for
a
four-year
period.
43
states
exempt
military
members
that
are
transient
in
their
state.
Therefore,
the
normal
tour
of
about
three
years.
The
department
of
defense,
has
made
this
a
priority
to
get
all
50
states
on
board.
It's
not
a
law,
that's
ever
really
been
enforced
here
or
even
been
widely
even
known.
R
So
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
us,
and
I
want
to
make
a
shout
out
to
laura
beth
long
of
lrc
staff
for
her
attention
to
detail
and
doing
some
cleanup,
which
is
what
drove
us
to
this
senate
committee
substitute
and
just
to
clarify
who's
exempt,
make
sure
all
the
language
is
correct
and
just
get
everything
right.
So
I
really
appreciate
her
doing
that,
but
thank
you
for
doing
this
bill
and
all
the
other
bills
that
you
all
are
looking
at
to
make
kentucky
the
most
military
and
veterans
friendly
state
in
the
nation.
Much
appreciated.
A
Thank
you,
general
bullard,
and
it's
great
to
see
you
here
today.
Thanks
for
your
work
and
thanks
for
your
service
and
and
yes,
hats
off
to
laura
beth,
she
did,
if
you,
the
committee,
sub,
really
drills
down
to
who,
can
it
really
identifies
who
this
covers
and
it
it
really
identifies
the
credentials
that
you
that
that
that
might
be
needed,
and
that's
that's
very
important
and
so
motion
by
senator
emery.
A
E
I
Explain
my
vote.
Mr
chairman,
please
proceed
I'm
going
to
vote
eye
on
the
bill
and
I
appreciate
the
bill
because,
of
course
I
was
living
in
tennessee
when
I
went
into
the
military,
but
I
drove
the
whole
time
on
eight
and
a
half
years
in
the
military
on
a
tennessee
license
never
had
to
get
it
renewed
and
every
state
that
I
was
in
accepted
it
that
I
was
stationed
in.
So
I'm
glad
to
see
this
bill
and
I
proudly
brought
eye.
Thank
you.
A
I
want
to
explain
my
votes.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
this
bill
forward.
It's
just
another
piece
of
the
puzzle
to
make
kentucky
the
most
military-friendly
state
in
the
country
and
I
proudly
vote
out.
Thank
you.
All
motion
motion
carries
and
will
be
reported,
reported
favorably.
We
have
a
motion
for
consent.
A
We
have
a
second,
we
have
a
second
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
opposed
it
will
be
on
consent.
Thank.
Q
A
Chairman,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
representative
wesley.
We
have
up
next
house
bill
370..
I
think
general
bullard's
also
going
to
testify
on
that
or
as.
S
A
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
sub
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
all
opposed
motion
carries
the
sub
is
adopted.
Please
proceed.
S
Thank
you.
I
apologize
for
looking
a
little
informal
this
morning,
but
suco
won't
fit
over
the
arm
right
now
so,
but
I
house
bill
370
actually
came
about
as
it
was
supposed
to
be
just
a
very
simple
cleanup
bill,
that's
how
it
came
about
and
the
proceeds
from
the
firefighter
plates,
as
well
as
the
masonic
homes
of
kentucky.
There
was
not
a
anything
in
prior
legislation
that
told
how
that
those
fees
that
were
charged
got
back
to
those
entities.
S
So
we
started
that
process
to
file
this
bill
just
clean
up,
and
with
that
happen,
it's
kind
of
like
setting
a
christmas
tree
up
in
the
middle
of
the
community.
Everybody
want
to
get
an
ornament
on
it
while
they
can.
So
it's
been
a
great
process
to
work
through
and
everybody
that
has
helped
with
it.
S
I'm
thankful
for
that,
but
there
is
a
house
committee
substitute
and
that
establishes
a
plea
for
recipients
of
the
distinguished
flying
cross
as
well
as
the
air
metal,
and
it
made
a
little
bit
of
a
change
in
the
bronze
star
metal
plate
that
was
awarded
with
the
distinction
of
for
valor,
and
it
broadens
that.
S
A
little
bit,
and
then
after
that
took
place,
we
had
a
few
other
people
that
got
involved
and
we
began
to
look
at
some
other
place
that
we
could
add
for
combat
action,
badge,
combat
infantry
badge
and
then
establish
a
new
pow
and
mia
awareness
plate
and
those
direct
extra
fees
would
go
to
the
veterans
program,
trust
fund.
Then
it
made
some
clarification
for
issuance
of
special
motorcycle
license
upon
request
of
the
sponsoring
organization.
S
Transportation
cabinet
to
this
point
has
reviewed
this
and
it
seems,
like
everybody,
is
on
board
with
it.
This
the
new
committee
sub
basically
just
clarified
some
language
in
there
as
well
about
what
type
of
identity
or
things
that
could
be
used
to
identify
the
people
that
would
get
these
license
plates
and
general.
You
may
be
able
to
talk
to
that
a
little
bit
as
well.
R
Well,
yes,
sir.
Thank
you
very
much
representative
callaway
and
say
the
committee
substitute
is
from
the
same
conversations
with
laura
beth
long
and
general
adams.
R
His
work
over
the
last
year
on
this,
and
what
a
great
opportunity
to
recognize
folks
who
the
this
came
up
for
the
air
medal,
but
the
bronze
star
is
armed
for
meritorious
service
and
combat
zone
and
adding
the
distinguished
flying
cross,
which
we
do
have
some
recipients
here
in
the
state,
even
though
it's
a
very
rare
medal
and
then
the
opportunity
came
up
to
add
the
combat
infantry
badge
in
the
combat
action
badge
and
those
are
highly
prized
by
members
of
the
military,
because
you
must
be
in
a
combat
scenario
to
receive
them
and
it's
earned
for
honorable
service
over
a
period
of
time
in
a
combat
zone.
R
S
S
I
do
have
three
brothers
that
are
foreign
war,
military
veterans
as
well,
and
so
we're
grateful
for
everybody's
service
and
taking
part
if
you've
served
in
the
military.
This
is
a
great
way
to
allow
us
to
recognize
those
people
who
don't
get
enough
recognition
in
my
opinion,
so.
A
We
have
a
motion
by
senator
smith,
second
by
senator
turner,
seeing
no
questions.
Madame
clerk,
please
call
the
roll.
E
L
S
D
Explain
my
vote.
Mr
chairman,
please
proceed
representative
callaway
good
to
see
you.
I
also
want
to
let
you
know
that
you're
one
of
your
county
judges,
garrett
gruber
reached
out
to
me
on
this
piece
of
legislation.
He
speaks
very
highly
of
you.
This
is
a
great
piece
of
legislation
you
worked
on.
I
proudly
voted.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Hold
on
just
a
second,
let
me
house
bill,
370
passes
and
will
be
reported
favorably.
I
vote
I
and
I'm
very
proud
to
do
so.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
it's
one
more
piece
of
the
puzzle
that
makes
kentucky
one
of
the
most
military-friendly
states
in
the
country,
and
we
want
to
be
number
one
and
this
this
we
we
wanted.
We
wanted
our
veterans
and
active
military
reserve
and
national
guard
to
know
that
this
is
a
military-friendly
state.
A
Yes,
we
have
a
motion
for
consent
and
second
and
a
second
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
opposed
motion
carries
it
will
be
put
on
consent,
the
only
bad
thing
about
consent.
When
we
put
it
on
there,
we
don't
get
to
get
up
and
brag
about
the
great
bill
that
it
is,
but
it
is
a
speedy
process.
P
Okay
house
bill
105
would
allow
local
law
enforcement
to
direct
the
department
of
transportation
to
place
missing
person,
information
of
any
age
on
electronic
highway
information
signs
under
current
law.
Highway
message
boards
can
only
be
used
in
the
case
of
an
amber
alert,
which
means
the
child
was
actually
abducted.
P
House
bill
105,
directs
the
duty
officer
of
the
division
of
emergency
management
to
contact
the
transportation
cabinet.
If
the
local
search
coordinator
determines
that
at
any
time
during
the
search
for
a
missing
person
that
the
use
of
electronic
highway
signs
would
aid
in
the
search
is
an
and
is
also
in
the
best
interest
of
the
missing
person.
And
you
know,
as
we
know,
these
signs
are
more
prolific
in
certain
areas
of
the
state,
so
it's
not
anything
that's
mandatory,
but
in
those
regions
where
those
boards
are
available
to
be
used
as
a
resource.
A
We
have
a
motion
on
the
bill
by
senator
wheeler,
a
second
by
senator
storm.
E
A
A
And
see
looking
around
as
they
that
have
everybody.
No,
we
still
have
house
bill,
363.
A
Representative
mcpherson,
please
identify
yourself
for
the
record
and
please
proceed.
A
Set
us
up
now
we
this
there
is
a
sub
on
this.
Just
pretty
much
some
motion
on
the
sub.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor
by
all
in
favor
of
adoption
of
committee.
Subsequent
saying
I
opposed
motion
carries
the
sub
is
adopted.
Representative
mcpherson,
please
proceed.
T
Well,
thank
you
chairman.
My
name
is
sean
mcpherson,
I'm
state
representative
for
district
22,
alan
simpson
and
a
portion
of
warren
county
house
bill
363
is
about
license,
plate,
disability
license
plates
and
placards
mainly
for
people
specifically
for
people,
parents
or
guardians
that
have
disabled
children
or
disabled
adults.
These
people
will
probably
never
be
able
to
have
a
driver's
license,
so
we
need
to
allow
the
people
driving
them
around
to
be
able
to
have
a
license
plate.
A
Okay,
I
do
want
to
again
staff
laura
beth
long
that
that's
the
the
reason
we
have
a
sub
correct
is
as
the
devil's
in
the
details
when
you,
when
you
do
legislation
and
she's
done
a
a
very
good
job
of
going
back
and
and
making
sure
that
we
cross
our
t's
and
dot
our
eyes
to
make
sure
that
everything's
in
in
order.
So.
T
A
Absolutely
any
questions
seen
none
did
we
have
a
motion
on
the
bill
who
who
was
who
made
the
motion?
I
have
a
second
okay,
senator
wheeler
and
then
second
by
senator
turner,
madame
clerk,
please
call
the
roll.
D
I
Explain
my
vote.
Mr

I'm
going
to
vote

years
of
her
life
could
not
drive
and
