Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives
in S.B. No. 676, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:  

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S
     LICENSES," 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to
recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final
passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this bill is to permit the holder of a Type 3
driver's license to drive a motor vehicle with a gross vehicle
weight rating of up to 12,000 pounds.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by
returning to the language of the Senate Draft which contains a
purpose section and increases the gross vehicle weight rating
limit for Type 3 driver's licenses to 15,000 instead of 12,000
pounds.
