FW: Senate Bill 435 Update!

...yup, 2011 is the latest version. They’re still trying to make it illegal without the EPA stamps and I could use some help coming up with a simple explanation of why that can’t be done other than the fact that it’s not readily visible or even present on many new, stock bikes.

I’m thinking there’s something along the lines of Federal preemption (the reason the labeling requirements were created in the first place) and the fact that the EPA hasn’t been funded to enforce the rules since 1981. If you haven’t read through the FAQ at the link below, please take a little time and give me some thoughts on why using the EPA labeling isn’t even legal...
