New Driver License Act Extends Issuance and Fees
An act amends the Uniform Operator's and Chauffeur's License Act to issue licenses annually, effective April 1 1933, with a 50 cent fee and no notary charges. It details application methods, required poll tax receipts, and exams, plus distribution through county license offices and mail or agent submission. The measure preserves Webb-Kenyon provisions, sets federal brewery fees, and lists states approving 3.2 percent beer and wine sales.
