This is starting to be a busy year in Springfield. Lots of bills and issues to cover. First off WAYMO driverless taxis, we conducted our poll in January with successful results. Most of the people surveyed strongly support testing and regulation, oversight and accountability before these vehicles are let loose in our communities. I believe the money spent on this poll was well worth it based on the response at the capitol. People are really taking notice of the results we got, and it is affecting how bills are being treated in Springfield. There are several bills we are watching on this but the ones we are supporting, which have included our safety recommenda􀆟ons are HB4789 and SB3308, hopefully we can get these through.

On E-BIKES, HB4925, regulates the age that someone can ride e-bikes and we are supporting this.

HELMET BILL, HB3783 is stuck in rules committee and hopefully it dies there. There are many other bills we are watching this year and you can see the updated list at our ABATE state website.

On a national level, this year they are working on the national transportation bill so the MRF is working to get language put in that benefits all of us as motorcyclists. Also, National Right To Repair bill has passed out its subcommi􀆩ee hearing so now it will come to the full subcommittee for consideration. This is a big step in the right direction, since this has been on the back burner for many years now.
