Law Stuff II

I lifted this update on the bills moving through Maryland's legislature straight off the Oxon Hill Bicycle and Trail web site. It's a follow-up on this post.

        Bills to have a hearing Tuesday, April 4, 1:00 pm.
        Oral testimony by bill sponsor only.        
        Advocates need to be there to show their support.

Phone your delegates and ask them to support SB 846.
Phone calls from constituents can make a difference.

          Two bills that affect bicyclists have passed the Senate but are stalled in the House Environmental Matters Committee. Cyclists' support for these bills is essential if these bills are to pass.  Contact your delegates' offices and ask that they support Senate Bill 846 (cross-filed as House Bill 943). This an important bill that cyclists want passed because it eliminates outdated operating restrictions and the requirement for a bike bell.
