Hearing Postponed -Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2006

 

Senator John Cullerton introduced a helmet bill SB 2439

Please call the Senate transportation committee and let them know ABATE of Illinois OPPOSES this bill.

 

A HELMET LAW IS A HELMET LAW                   

 

Talking points:

-         This is an attempt by Sen. Cullerton to add a helmet law

-         ABATE of Illinois opposes all Mandatory helmet laws

-         No one cares more about the safety of a motorcyclist than another motorcyclist.  So much so that they implemented a $5 self imposed tax on their license endorsements to help fund the state run Cycle Rider Training Safety Program

-          ABATE believes in Education not Legislation
