The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) has learned that Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J) is planning to offer an amendment to the MRF's Motorcycle Safety Language contained in the highway bill HR 3.

It would penalize, or prohibit, any state without a mandatory helmet law from participation in the grant process for monies designated for motorcycle training and awareness. This amendment could be offered as soon as tomorrow, May 9th.

Bikers' Rights: VFR Legislative Update
Posted by herseyc on Monday, April 25, 2005 @ 08:18:12 EDT (945 reads)
The 2005 Legislative Session was a hotbed of activity. Things moved slowly with the helmet bill with respect to getting it out of committee, but that meant many trips to Richmond and much writing and phone calling in between. The bill failed to make it out of the House and that only means one thing – we have a LOT of work to do this year.

Bikers' Rights: Latest on HB1979
Posted by herseyc on Tuesday, February 08, 2005 @ 07:12:49 EST (1127 reads)
It is with a heavy heart that I tell you HB1979 had it's Second and Third Reading today and it failed to pass out of the House 46 - 51. I talked with Jim Cannon this afternoon and as expected he is very dissappointed. Jim is an excellent lobbyist at our Capitol, but he is only one person. In the eleventh hour our opponents gathered strength and easily outnumbered his efforts in the capitol hallways.
