“STOP MOTORCYCLE CHECKPOINT FUNDING ACT” INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS
Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) has introduced “a bill to prohibit
the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) from providing funds to
state and local authorities for the purpose of creating motorcycle only
checkpoints.”
Filed on May 7, the Stop Motorcycle Checkpoint Funding Act, H.R. 1861,
“also contains language to force the DOT to focus motorcycle safety
efforts on crash prevention programs, not national helmet mandates,”
according to Rep. Sensenbrenner. “This will stop the DOT from
manipulating State policies with federal money.”
Contact your federal representatives and request they support H.R.
1861, and that they sign on as a co-sponsor of Sensenbrenner’s bill.
