Forever, O Lord, Your Word stands firm as the Heavens. Your faithfulness is from generation to generation; You have established the Earth, and it stands fast.

You also keep us safe and secure, so that we are able to finish the tasks at hand. We have done what is right and good and have not abandoned our principles nor forgotten our primary directives.

As we rise early each day and as the day turns to evening, strengthen our bodies, refresh our minds, bring transparency to our motives.

May we know good judgment, wise and right discernment and knowledge, for we have much ahead of us.

Now may the Lord of Peace Himself give us peace always in every way. The Lord be with us all.

WHEREAS, today 40 million credit cardholders are exposed to the risk of fraud by data thieves; and

WHEREAS, in 2005, a credit card processing company, CardSystems Solutions, improperly retained masses of data in vulnerable files and data thieves moved in, resulting in approximately 200,000 credit card accounts being reported stolen; and

WHEREAS, other incidents in 2005 included CitiFinancial disclosing that unencrypted computer tapes for 3.9 million customers were lost by a package deliverer and ChoicePoint, the nation's largest broker of personal information were the target of thieves who were easily able to buy the data of 145,000 consumers; and

WHEREAS, in the hands of thieves, consumer data becomes liquid assets and must be guarded as such by companies; and

WHEREAS, with California's passage of a law requiring notice to affected consumers, the entire nation became aware that consumers' assets and identities are increasingly at risk of fraud because of the remarkable success of data thieves

WHEREAS, several pieces of legislation have been introduced in the United States Congress, including a bill proposing a national requirement for consumer notification with civil penalties for negligent companies, and a comprehensive bill to begin regulating data merchants by requiring registration with the Federal Trade Commission and to impose stronger safeguards, stop the easy access to Social Security numbers, and help identity theft victims regain their fiscal balance:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-third General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, hereby urge the United States Congress to adopt a comprehensive federal law that protects consumer information from data thieves; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives be instructed to prepare a properly inscribed copy of this resolution for each member of the Missouri Congressional Delegation.

Mr. Speaker: Your Committee on Rules, to which was referred HCR 18, begs leave to report it has examined the same and recommends that it Do Pass.

WHEREAS, the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 was signed into law with the goal to improve highway safety by ensuring that drivers of large trucks and buses are qualified to operate those vehicles and to remove unsafe and unqualified drivers from the highways; and

WHEREAS, the federal Act retained a State's right to issue a driver's license, but established minimum national standards which States must meet when licensing commercial motor vehicle drivers; and

WHEREAS, the federal Act corrected the situation that existed prior to 1986 by making it illegal to hold more than one license and by requiring States to adopt testing and licensing standards for truck and bus drivers to check a person's ability to operate the type of vehicle the driver plans to operate; and

WHEREAS, since April 1, 1992, drivers have been required to have a commercial driver's license (CDL) in order to drive a commercial motor vehicle. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued standards for testing and licensing of commercial motor vehicle drivers which require States to issue CDLs to their commercial motor vehicle drivers only after the driver passes knowledge and skills tests administered by the State related to the type of vehicle to be operated; and

WHEREAS, drivers need CDLs if they are in interstate, intrastate, or foreign commerce and drive a vehicle that meets the federal definition of a commercial motor vehicle; and

WHEREAS, States develop their own tests which must be at least as stringent as the federal standards; and

WHEREAS, this restriction does not prohibit States from allowing a person 18 years of age to qualify for a CDL, because it is limited to intrastate operation only. Such a restriction prohibits a person between the ages of 18 and 21 with a CDL from the interstate operation of a commercial motor vehicle; and

WHEREAS, the establishment of a controlled pilot program by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) lowering the federal minimum age for commercial motor vehicle drivers in interstate commerce from 21 to 18, which would include behind the wheel training, mentoring, and an evaluation component, would be the first step in advancing the program while still promoting highway safety; and

WHEREAS, a FMCSA controlled pilot program for 18 to 21 year-olds has the potential of relieving a severe commercial motor vehicle driver shortage in the States and Nation, and creating excellent career opportunities:

WHEREAS, that the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-third General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, hereby urge the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to establish a controlled pilot program to evaluate the potential of lowering the age requirements for interstate commercial motor carrier drivers from 21 to 18 years of age; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives be instructed to prepare a properly inscribed copy of this resolution for the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Annette M. Sandberg, and each member of the Missouri Congressional Delegation.

Mr. Speaker: Your Committee on Rules, to which was referred HCR 30, begs leave to report it has examined the same and recommends that it Do Pass.

Relating to the designation of Missouri walk and bicycle to school month and day.

WHEREAS, the health and safety of our children is of highest concern to the citizens of Missouri; and

WHEREAS, promoting safe and healthful walking and bicycling to school is of importance to Missouri parents and teachers, and has been shown to improve student's health and academic performance; and

WHEREAS, a lack of physical activity plays a leading role in rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and other health problems among children. Being able to walk or bicycle to school offers an opportunity to build healthful physical activity into a child's daily routine; and

WHEREAS, an important role for parents and caregivers is to teach children about pedestrian safety and become aware of the difficulties and dangers that children face on their trip to school each day and the health and environmental risks related to physical inactivity and air pollution; and

WHEREAS, the number of children walking and bicycling to school has decreased dramatically in recent years, with less than 10% walking of bicycling to school now compared with 50% just 30 years ago; and

WHEREAS, serious injury and death of hundreds of children nationwide could be saved each year if communities take steps to make bicycle and pedestrian safety a priority; and

WHEREAS, the Safe Routes to Schools program is recognized nationally and internationally as being effective in solving these problems and has been successfully piloted in several Missouri communities; and

WHEREAS, local Safe Routes to Schools efforts combining engineering, enforcement, encouragement, and education have been shown to improve school children's health, mobility, safety, and academic performance; and

WHEREAS, "International Walk to School Month" in October and "International Walk to School Day" the first Wednesday in October have proven to be helpful in creating and promoting local Safe Route to Schools programs across the United States and throughout the world:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-third General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, hereby commends and encourages the Safe Routes to Schools program overseen at the state level by the Missouri Department of Transportation and on the local level by many individuals, agencies, and schools; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the creation of and participation in the local Safe Routes to Schools programs in communities throughout Missouri be encouraged; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the needed cooperation and partnership among students, parents, teachers, parent-teacher groups, community leaders, community groups, public works departments, law enforcement agencies, school districts, the Missouri Department of Transportation, and other departments and agencies of state and local government to create successful Safe Routes to Schools programs be commended and encouraged; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that October 2006 is hereby declared to be "Missouri Walk and Bicycle to School Week" and October 4, 2006, is hereby declared to be "Missouri Walk and Bicycle to School Day" in Missouri; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be sent to the Governor for his approval or rejection pursuant to the Missouri Constitution.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my hand to this affidavit on this 5th day of April 2006.

Thursday, April 6, 2006, House Chamber side gallery upon morning adjournment. AMENDED
