State Representative Mary Flowers (31) has decided to bring back HB's 285 + 290 which we oppose. These were left over from last year as she didn't bring them out to the committee floor for a vote Both bills will be heard in the House Transportation Committee on February 8 2012, 11am, Room 115 in the capitol

TALKING POINTS: Governments job is not to tell us how to dress ourselves or our families. We want Crash Reduction, Not Safer Crashes - Motorcycle Awareness, Education, and Training are the keys to Crash Avoidance.

Also scheduled for this hearing - Ask Committee Members to vote yes on HB1986
HB1986 sponsored by our good friend Rep. John Bradley (117) is a positive step forward for OHV's and other off-road recreational vehicles.
