MICHIGHAN - Ready to put them helmets back on?

OFF THE WIRE
Senator Rebeka Warren introduced a bill to reinstate the helmet law. It was referred to the Transportation committee. You can check out who the members of the Transportation Committee are at the link below. AND CALL OR EMAIL THEM!
That being said she is a democrat, and most of the committee is made up of republicans, including the sponsor of our helmet repeal bill Senator Pavlov. It is very doubtful that this bill will ever see daylight on the senate floor. BUT, make no mistake that our freedom of choice regarding helmets will be challenged over and over and over again. Only WE can make sure we keep it free.
Senate Bill 1120 (2014)

Rebekah Warren
