OFF THE WIRE
North Carolina House Bill 381, H381, which most people in the motorcycling community "should" favor since it will clarify motorcycle only checking stations (roadblocks/checkpoints) are prohibited in NC was heard in Judiciary Subcommittee B yesterday, where there was a committee substitute, and received a FAVORABLE report. It is heading back to be put on the calendar for the House. I believe it will get scheduled as a 2nd Reading of the bill, and then go directly into a 3rd reading of the bill (unless the Speaker of the House does an unexpected move). It is quite possible for a motion to arise on the floor of the house to ask that the bill be scheduled for the House Transportation Committee, as a courtesy prior to any vote.
Expect it to clear the house and move to the senate with plenty of time to meet crossover deadlines.
