[QUOTE="JPIVEY, post: 908363, member: 22193"] [b][b]ohv Bill Update[/b][/b] [B]AB 555 (La Malfa) – OHMVR program sunset extension. (our sponsored bill)[/B] This bill was heard in the Assembly Transportation Committee on Monday, April 11, our annual OHV Lobby Day. We had approximately 100 off roaders at the hearing and after the author’s presentation of the bill and brief testimony in support on behalf of OHV organizations, all the individual off roaders were given the opportunity to testify by stating their name and support for our bill. It was quite an overwhelming sight with the off roaders in their club colors parading up to microphone to participate. With only a representative from the Planning and Conservation League to offer weak testimony in opposition, our bill passed out of the committee on an 8-3 vote. It now heads to the Assembly Appropriations Committee for its next hearing. Ayes: Bogh, S.Horton, Huff, Mountjoy, Niello, Oropeza, Ridley-Thomas & Torrico Noes: Chan, Liu, Pavley Abstain: Karnette, Salinas [B]AB 1487 (Wyland) – OHMVR Economic study (our sponsored bill)[/B] This bill was heard in the Assembly Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee on Tuesday. The bill passed the committee with modest amendments that were requested by the Chairwoman, Lois Wolk (D), The amendments consultation with the Stakeholders group. Both I and Terry McHale testified in support of the bill on behalf of our OHV clients. In opposition were the Planning and Conservation League and the Sierra Club. The bill passed out of the committee on a 11-1 vote. It now heads to the Assembly Appropriations Committee for its next hearing. Ayes: Baca, Bermudez, Daucher, Emmerson, Matthews, Maze, Parra, S. Runner, Saldana, Villines & Wolk Noes: Pavley Abstain: Berg, Dymally [B]AB 1086 (Lieber) [/B] - This bill did a number of things that off roaders didn’t like including making it unlawful to operate a vehicle in violation of a statute, ordinance, rule, order, etc by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over public lands, including provisions governing wilderness areas and closed areas and would make the 3rd violation a misdemeanor punishable with fines and/or imprisonment. The bill also would require written permission to traverse private lands and made changes to the specifications for the license stickers increasing the size. This bill was also heard in the Assembly Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee on Tuesday. Again, both I and Terry McHale were there to represent our respective OHV clients in opposing this legislation. This bill was sponsored by the Planning and Conservation League and supported by the Sierra Club. This bill did not pass the committee. It failed on a 4-8 vote. Ayes: Bermudez, Pavley, Saldana, & Wolk Noes: Baca, Daucher, Emmerson, Matthews, Maze, Parra, S. Runner, & Villines Abstain: Berg, Dymally [B]AB 1209 (Yee)[/B] – Requires snowmobile rental companies to provide a training course to renters to familiarize the renter with the safe operation of the vehicle, provide a helmet and requires the guides to have CPR training. This bill was also heard Tuesday in the Assembly Judiciary Committee. This bill is similar to a bill last session by the author. The previous bill was supported by most of the OHV organizations. The California Nevada Snowmobile Association is in support as well. This bill passed the committee on a 7-2 vote. This bill now goes to the full Assembly for a vote. Ayes: Evans, Jones, Laird, Leslie, Levine, Lieber & Montanez Noes: Harman & Haynes These bills all have a long way to go to reach the Governor’s desk. Naturally, we were helped by the 60 plus off roaders and all the off road kids who showed up on the OHV Lobby Day to testify and to lobby on AB 555, AB 1086 and AB 1487. Our opponents will continue to oppose our bills, AB 555 and AB 1487. We can also expect to see AB 1086 amended and brought back to life. [/QUOTE]
