FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER

At the Statehouse

HB5 Hand Free Devices - This bill will make it crystal clear that global positioning or navigation devices must be hands free. Thanks to everyone who wrote their legislators in support of this bill, it passed unanimously through Senate Transportation Committee on Tuesday. If you have time, send a short thank you to your Senator if they sit on this committee. We will send another alert when it heads to the Senate floor.

SB1099 - This bill triples the fee for running a red light. We are watching this bill and will support it.

HB131 - This bill changes language so sidewalks can be wider than 8ft if outside city limits. We are watching this bill and will support it.
