Drivers Licenses Increase Monday

The fee for the issuance and re- newal of Alaska drivers licenses has been increased from $2.00 to $500. The increase becomes ef- fective with the issuance of licen- ses beginning Monday, May 18.
 Chapter 153 of the 1859 Session Laws of Alaska, the drivers li- eense act, recently signed by Gov. Egan provides for several basic changes in the procedures for the Issuance Of drivers licenses and also. increases the license fee.
 Previous to the enactment of the Drivers License Act of 1859, the enabling regulations govern ing the issuance, cancellation and suspension of drivers licenses in Alaska were enacted by the Board of the Department of Highways and Public Works. This admins trative board was abolished by the Legislature in its re-organiza- tion of the state government.
 The new state law is based upon the provisions of the Uniform
Kodiak mirror., 1959-05-16

Motor Vehicle Code recommended for adoption in all States by the Presidents Traffic Safety Com mittee,. and the Commission for Uniform State Laws.
 The drivers license will still expire on the birthday of the applicant, and will be valid for two years.
 Mail license applications sub mitted and postmarked after the May 18 date must be accompanied by the increased fee of s. Alaska drivers licenses may be renewed sixty days before expiration at any local office of the Alaska State Police.
 The new Act also imposes a new requirement and responsibil- ity upon parents or guardians who authorize the issuance of license to minors less than 18 years of age. In addition to giving parental consent, the parent or guardian assumes direct legal responsibili ty for any damages resulting from wilful misconduct or negligence involving the operation of mo- tor vehicle by minor. Direct responsibility can be avoided when application is ac- companied by proof that a liabil- ity policy is in effect covering said minor while operating a mo- tor vehicle.
 Above requirements become ef- fective May IS.
 ', The Act further clarifies pro- cedures and requirements for reinstatement of licenses revoked by court order Licenses will be returned upon completion of ex- piration period, but second or subsequent conviction for driving while intoxicated: will result in the automatic revocation of license for a period of three years under the new State law
