Current Michigan Legislation
To alert SMARTER of any
legislative developments, contact our Advocacy
Director.
The
following
legislation is of interest to
SMARTER
riders:
This
bill would allow a motorcycle operator or passenger 21 years of age or older
who carries a valid permit from the Secretary of State to operate or ride a
motorcycle without wearing a crash helmet. The permit fee is $100
for one year or $200 for three years. SMARTER
opposed this bill.
Introduced by Rep. Richard LeBlanc on March 27, 2007, to declare that the
third Wednesday of each July shall be officially recognized by the
government of the State of Michigan as "Ride Your Motorcycle to Work
Day."
- 2007
House Bill 4323 (Authorize ORVs on certain road shoulders Text
and Analysis]
Introduced by Rep. Joel Sheltrown on February 27, 2007, to allow counties
in the northern part of the state to allow off road vehicles (ORV's) to be
driven on the shoulders of designated streets and roads. The bill would cap
at 30 percent the miles of a county's roadways on which this could not be
allowed, if it chose to allow it at all.
Passed in the House (107 to 0) on March 20,
2007, to allow counties in the northern part of the state to allow off road
vehicles (ORV's) to be driven on the "far right side" of the road
surface (and probably the shoulders) of some or all streets and roads, as
determined by the county commission. The bill does not specify posting
requirements. ORVs (which includes off-road motorcycles) could not exceed 25
mph when using a road.
