SB 701 -- PILOT LICENSES

SPONSOR:  Wiggins (Lowe)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Transportation by a vote of 19 to 0.

Under current law, it is unlawful for anyone to fly a plane
without a pilot's license issued by the United States Department
of Commerce.  This department is no longer responsible for
issuing these licenses.  Pilot licenses are now referred to as
airmen certificates and issued by the Federal Aviation
Administration.  This bill modifies the statutes to reflect
current federal law.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill makes Missouri in
compliance with federal requirements.

Testifying for the bill was Senator Wiggins.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
