Today at 2pm the Rules committee will meet for the final time before cross over day.  This is the last chance we have to get the 3 ft Law on the house floor for a vote.  Send a letter to the committee leaders below and forward this email to every cyclist and concerned parent you know!

Sample Letter:

 

Dear Representative and Rules Committee Leader,

I am writing you today to ask for you to call HB180 for a vote today.  This law will help protect everyone that has a bike in their garage and the kids that ride in our neighborhoods.  It also means  revenue to the state as many bike riders will make an economic impact and generate sales tax revenue.  In District 6 in the our great state over 996,000 dollars are generated each year from retail sales for bicycles and parts.  This bill will help us to educate all on the laws of the road and promote more healthy active lifestyles.

 

Thank you for your service and your support.
