Judiciary Committee - Senate

Senator Wallace you're recognized thank you Mr chair. Commission chair members of. This is a bill that makes a bill that we did. This section a little bit better the only changes our own Page one line thirty three in Page two line seven and eight. When we pass this bill last year. it passed overwhelmingly in the house and in the Senate. What we get immediate feedback for a lot of folks that were very grateful for this but it became very apparent shortly afterwards is that I should not have restricted to age to age fifty five US elected unlimited because I had folks at the age of sixty maybe a little bit older age fifty seven fifty eight that Pruitt said what about me so all this bill does is it eliminates the age fifty five. It makes it. All the way to the in the lifespan. And it updates the dates on the back. And with that I stand by for your questions. Any questions from committee is a sin Tucker you're recognized. Thank you Mr. The. The victims that we're talking about here where the children when they were victims of these crimes for the most part okay the all the ones that I talked with were in what studies have found out is when this happens the folks are really willing that it they bury it and that is not willing to come out and talk about it until much later sometimes midlife right I I totally understand that I just was I didn't know if the crimes by definition war crimes against children or if it just happens to be the most of them. More victims were children one is in a court this is not criminal the civil rights I understand okay thank you. Is there a motion from the Committee. Where motions have to pass. A second from Senator Ricky. All those in favor say aye. All opposed. Graduations walls your bill passed thank you Sir. Hi next on the agenda we have center Dalby. This center dot. Representative Dalby with house bill thirty fifty two. President of dobby you're recognized to present house bill thirty eighteen fifty two. Okay and if you have a fiscal impact with that bill you are. You can go ensure that. Thank you Mr chairman Carol Dalby state representative for district one hundred there is a physical impact statement that has been made and you'll see that there is No resources there's no physical impact in regard to this bill. And with that with chairs permission I'll go ahead and present the bill members of. Time gets away with either last session or session before last we passed a bill we passed passed a bill where we could see you owe our records of felonies could be sealed fairly quickly and what happen is it caught some unclassified felonies and one of the unclassified felonies is DWI fourth DWI fifth those are unclassified felonies so the practical effect of that bill was DWI Senator misdemeanor DWI eyes they had to wait ten years before their records could be sealed but if you had a DWI felony like a felony for a fourth or a fifth you could immediately see that upon completion of your Senate so what this bill does it closes that gap it says that if you have a felony DWI you too will have to wait the ten years before you commence your record you can't just seal it immediately that simply all it's doing is collect but not collapsing but making a felony DWI follow the same rules as a misdemeanor DWI with that I'll be happy to answer any questions our committee harden explained to the building or any questions Senator Hester you're recognized You know the support I'm just trying to say like I know if it's if it's sealed like a a potential employer couldn't see it or licensing institution would say is that correct that's correct yes and and how long would the like say if somebody got a DWI felony the FBI today how long until I would be eligible to see to see what ten years okay and maybe not it that's what this bill would say ten years if you got one today and you completed your sentence. A year from now on this bill is not in place you can see all that felony DWI the end. I'm for that. All right any other questions from committee members. Senator Tucker. Thank you Mr so is it is the ten year look back period in place because if you get another due to be out during that period and you have a an enhanced penalty correct and so if if under the current law or before the birth of a motor vehicle before the previous law was passed you get eighty W.. Conceivably get that sealed and get another one and you you'll still have a the penalty of a first time offender even though it's actually your second that's exactly right okay so that's what you're that's what your address we're trying to address that loophole okay thank you.
