Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §2454, sub-§5, as enacted by PL 1995, c. 368, Pt. AAA, §19, is amended to read:
 
5. Petition for license reinstatement.   A person whose license is permanentlyhas been revoked under subsection 2 may petition the Secretary of State for relicensure 108 years after the date the person is no longer incarcerated. The Secretary of State shall make the person's petition for relicensure known to the family of any victims of the person's offense and shall consider the family's testimony in determining whether to reissue the person a driver's license.’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill and is the minority report. The amendment grants the Secretary of State discretionary authority to reissue a license to a person 8 years instead of 10 years after the date the person is no longer incarcerated when the person's license is revoked as a result of that person's operation of a motor vehicle having caused the death of another person when the person operating the motor vehicle was under the influence of intoxicants at the time of the offense.
