HB 101 passes legislature- take action to have Governor Deal sign into law	Take Action!
Late yesterday the Georgia state legislature approved HB 101 which requires a minimum safe passing distance of 3 feet when overtaking cyclists.   In addition to the safe passing language, HB101 also cleans up Georgia state code in regard to bicycling by legalizing the use of recumbent bicycles, further defining bike lanes and updated equipment requirements.   Take action today to have Governor Deal sign this important measure into law.
