From the Legislative Page

(7-5-14) I reported on a section of the Grow America Act that gave the Secretary of Transportation, or their designee, the ability to negotiate with state governments and their legislators in matters pertaining to helmet use. The bill number on this legislation is H.R. 4745. This bill was amended on June 9, 2014 striking the language pertaining to helmet use. We, the motorcycling community of the U.S.A., did it! We convinced our federal government (again) that mandatory helmet use was an issue best decided at the state level. To those of you that made contact with a government official on this issue, THANK YOU !!!!...........Go to Abate .com to read more.
2015 meetings & Events will be scheduled at the Aug. Meeting. Try to make it.
