HB 187 which prohibits motorcycle only checkpoints reported out of sub-committee
by a unanimous vote. It will be heard in full committee tomorrow morning. It
should not be a problem due to its strong showing in sub-committee. Additionally
every delegate to whom we have spoken has received well our argument that
motorcycle only checkpoints are discriminatory and possibly illegal. I would
urge you to email the members of the transportation committee on this bill. In
case you misplaced them I have included the email addresses of the
Transportation Committee members below.
HB 97 is receiving strong overall support and will have its first
reading tomorrow and its second reading on Friday. The second reading is where
the delegates will cast their first votes so continue with those emails to the
full House. It is working.
If anyone has any questions or concerns about either of these bills or
on the legislative process through which they are working please feel free to
contact me.
