Word from Assemblyman Quirks office is the bill will be amended. Up.

He has met with the CHP and a round table discussion on the change with us will take place next week. This will include the very active stake holders at this point.

You will be the first to know if we change to supporting the bill

Great news Bud! Thank you for all your time and dedication!

Surj is right there all the way too as is Nick Haris from the AMA
Nick is attending all the committee meetings in Sac as well as a gent from ABATE - James for those that know him.

Nick gives us feedback right away from those and we continue to circle like crows interested in a good meal. :laughing

I dropped my more political signature in the post above.
Try hard to be respectful and a known entity in discussions.

What this means to be clear is.

15 MPH Max speed differential
50 MPH Max speed, but the original amendment we saw had a speed limit for traffic at 35 MPH. That is now gone. This looks much better.

We... as in the AMA/ Coalition of Clubs / ABATE / MIC and more are standing that we do not agree with the adjustment... however the adjustment that was seen is not the one issued.

I am trying to get a hold of folks now.

I have a couple of objectives here.
1. Get the practice codified.
2. Get the speed limits to be reasonable for safety reasons.
3. Help other States move forward based on California being the coolest state in the Union.

This is really close.. Thanks for popping that up. I had not seen it.

Stand by.
