ARE THERE OTHER FUTURE EVENTS THAT ANYONE KNOWS OF ?
-----------------------------------
Meanwhile, ABATE’s AB 695 authored by Assemblyman Chris Norby, to
repeal California ’s mandatory motorcycle helmet law, is set for its first hearing in the Assembly Transportation Committee on April 25, at 1:30 pm in Room 4202.
Our other bill, AB 1047, to Stop
MOTORCYCLE ONLY Checkpoints,
authored by the Vice Chairman of the Assembly Transportation Committee, Kevin Jefferies, is set to be heard in April, also in the Assembly Transportation Committee.

Our bill will prohibit the CA Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) from issuing grants
to law enforcement agencies to stage,

MOTORCYCLE ONLY Checkpoints
and also require the OTS to conduct audits of the safety checkpoint grants
to insure that law enforcement is complying! This will be a major victory
for motorcycle riders, who are being singled out for profiling.
We will need letters and emails on this bill as well!
Stay tuned and look for our action alerts for what you can do to stop this,
disgraceful discrimination against bikers!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THESE BILLS AND MORE ? COME ON DOWN TO THE MEETING ON APRIL 3rd.
