           reference to the licensee's social security number.
           A new  system  of  assigning  unique identification

           shall not be allowed to obtain one for at least one
           year or until age 21,  whichever  is greater.  If a
           person under 21 already  has a license, the license

           UNDER TWO OR MORE NAMES
           Repeals the  requirement  that  a  specific form be

SB 660        RELATING TO DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE              TIA, JDC
           OF INTOXICATING LIQUOR
           Imposes  a   mandatory   minimum  consecutive  jail

SD1           Provides that failure  to  comply scrupulously with
           police procedures that exceed the minimum statutory
           roadblock  requirements   will   not  invalidate  a
           roadblock   that   otherwise   meets   the  minimum
           statutory criteria.


                   No testimony will be accepted.
