"This hill is asking the
education department to do
the DMV's job," Stamm said
"The DMV is in a much bet
ter position to make sure dri
vers are insured than we
are."
The bill's sponsor. Rep.
Patti Milne, R-Woodbwrn,
told the House Education
Committee at a public hear
ing that she is not trying to
make things difficult for edu
cation officials and believes
this bill could be implement
ed simply.
“We aren't stating hard and
fast rules on how schools will
implement this." Milne said
"They can just do it in the
easiest wav "
Other members of the com
mittee agreed that imple
menting the bill would be
worth any extra work
because they would like to do
anything they can to dot rease
the number of uninsured dri
vers. The committee voted
unanimously last week in
favor of the bill, and the
House should vote on the bill
sometime this week
Milne also told the com
mittee that the bill will be
especially helpful to the
problem of uninsured drivers
because it targets the Jti to 25
ago group, which she says
has the highest number of
uninsured drivers.
Stamm is not convinced
that young drivers, especially
University students, are any
more likely to be uninsured
that other drivers He said he
requested a copy of statistics
supporting Milne's claim but
never received them.
"Supporters of the bill
tried to make it sound like I
w as in favor of uninsured dri
vers; that is not so." Stamm
said. "I would just like to see
something in place that
works."
