Revised Drivers Liability Bill Moves Back to House
The $11,000 driver responsibility bill was amended to shield blameless motorists from deposits. The compromise, approved 5-2 by the House commerce and manufacturers committee, excludes farm vehicle operators, limits coverage to streets and roads, allows bonds, and removes license plate revocation. Whitworth and Aynesworth endorsed the changes with support from Senator Morris.
