Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 502, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, entitled:

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 amend the penalties for repeat offenders of traffic violations that involve child passenger restraint systems, motor vehicle alarm systems, and motor vehicle lights equipment to make them easier to apply and fairer to the violators who would potentially face much stiffer fines for a relatively minor second offense.

Your Committee on Conference has agreed to use the language of House Draft 1 as the Conference Draft 1. As amended, this bill adds provisions that limit the time period during which a prior conviction may be considered to:

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 502, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 502, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
