Today,
the U.S. Senate is beginning consideration of an appropriations bill,
which would provide funding for fiscal 2015 for several federal
agencies, including the U.S. Department of Transportation.
U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) have submitted and proposed an amendment to the bill that would end federal funding for motorcycle-only checkpoints.
Senate Amendment 3265 states: “No funds made available under this act may be used to create or operate a checkpoint that exclusively targets motorcycle operators and motorcycle passengers.”
It is unclear if Senate leadership will reach a deal that will allow the amendment to receive a vote before the full chamber.
