HB187 - Prohibiting Motorcycle Only Checkpoints - Passed the House by a vote of 85-10.
We now move on to the Senate with this one as well.
This is another testament to the hard work of motorcyclists throughout Virginia.
You can see a breakdown of how each member voted on HB187 at the link below:
Once this bill has been referred to a committee in the Senate we will pass that information along.
HB97 - Two Abreast – has been referred to the Senate Transportation Committee.
I will be providing the email addresses of each of the committee members in the near future.
For the time being I would ask that we hold off on emails until
we know whether this bill will be heard before or after crossover (the
date after which each legislative body may only consider legislation
from the other legislative body).
This year that date is February 15.
Timing is important and we don’t want to hit them too early.
I want to thank everyone once again.
I know we are only half way through the battle on each of these
important pieces of legislation but the support that we have been able
to gather to date has been impressive.
That being said we are ONLY HALF WAY THROUGH.
Until the governor signs each bill we are not finished.
That can’t happen until we can get both of these bills through the Senate.
Get ready for round two.
