 deseretnews.com | Senate proposes tougher penalties for drunken driving | Deseret Morning News Web edition
WASHINGTON — The Senate version of the giant highway bill now before Congress would push the states to adopt stiff penalties for three categories of drunken drivers responsible for much of the death toll: repeat offenders, those with very high blood-alcohol levels, and those whose licenses were suspended for drunken driving but kept driving anyway.
The bill is in a conference committee, where a variety of issues, including the overall spending level, are in negot- iation.
Sherwood Boehlert, R-N.Y., a conferee on the bill, said in a phone interview that his wife and daughter had been hit head-on by a drunken driver one afternoon in the mid-1990s, as they were driving about a mile from their home in New Hartford, N.Y., near Utica.

 Drunken driver rules dropped from bill - Boston.com - Washington - News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Lawmakers negotiating a new long-term highway bill have dropped a Senate-passed provision that would have penalized states that don't enact tough laws against high-risk drunken drivers.
Aides said the bill, which would replace an act that expired almost two years ago, could be completed on Wednesday, and the House could take it up as early as Wednesday.
They warned that states could lose more than $600 million in highway construction funds and that the 36 states that are in compliance with current law would have to rewrite their laws.

He was the last native monarch who held paramount power in the north prior to the Mahommedan conquest; and was succeeded by an era of petty states.

The bill would have boosted overall Defense R&D (that's the aggregate of 6.1 Basic, 6.2 Applied, and 6.3 Advanced Technology Development) by 2.6 percent in FY 2006.
The bill, by virtue of its "must pass" status and its late consideration, has become a Christmas tree of sorts for legislators eager to include provisions they've been unable to pass in other vehicles.
Consequently, the bill is loaded with provisions not obviously germane to the Department of Defense, like authorization for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), $29 billion in further hurricane aid, and $3.8 billion for flu preparations.

Without the caps in place, appropriations bills that come to the floors of the respective chambers are open to amendments that could significantly increase funding levels (or cut others) for programs within the bills.
It is likely that the unfinished appropriations bills will be bundled into a single “omnibus” appropriations bill and passed en masse, either during the lame duck session or perhaps as late as January when the new Congress convenes.
They could move as individual bills for consideration by their respective bodies or get bundled up with all of the other unfinished appropriations bills as part of an omnibus bill and never see individual consideration.

 Shuster -- CQ Weekly
Going into the final day of debate in June on a bill authorizing billions for airport construction, even those who relied on Bud Shuster's legislative prowess had their doubts.
In the five-year, $88 billion highway authorization bill passed in 1987 (PL 100-17), before he became chairman, there were 120 earmarks amounting to $890 million -- including a $72 million project for Shuster's district, the bill's costliest.
Fundraisers with groups who have a stake in transportation bills before the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee have consistently helped Shuster raise one of the largest war chests in the House, even though he has been unopposed in six of the last seven elections and has not had a strong challenger since 1974.

He warned that the election killed momentum for the bill last fall, and that discussions of the federal deficit might impede passage this year.

On the agenda was the lawmaker's dream bill: a six-year, $318 billion highway spending measure that would pour billions of new dollars into states for desperately needed road and bridge construction.
In the background was President Bush, demanding that they live up to their principles and reject a bill that exceeded the bounds of fiscal responsibility.
He said Bush's veto of a more generous bill would demonstrate that he stands firm behind fiscal discipline, but could also resonate among voters asking themselves why they are sitting in traffic.

 Governing: Assessments/September 2005
estled deep in the recesses of the 1,752-page federal transportation bill that just became law is a remarkable piece of generosity from Congress to state governments — remarkable not only because Washington hasn’t been all that friendly to the states recently but also because it’s a windfall that asks very little in return.
In the view of Barbara Harsha, of the Governors’ Highway Safety Association, “it sends a terrible message to the states.
That view reflects the list of other, less conspicuous safety-related provisions that consumer groups managed to get into the transportation bill — language that deals with the other two major components of highway safety: the design of automobiles and the condition of highways.
