Republican numbers are in yellow hi-lighted
Here you go. I took the time to type them up, you take the time to call them. This gets heard at 8:30
OPPOSE these bills HB0292, HB0290, HB0285
HB0292 Mary Flowers 3rd bill is the same thing from last year that would BAN anyone under 16 from operating an ATV or off-road motorcycle. Operators would have to be 16, have a valid drivers license, must demonstrate off-road abilities with a written exam on your drivers license, and be wearing a "properly fitted helmet".
You really need to read this for yourself.
