- If it passes in Oregon, it can start passing everywhere, pass the word)
The below says - In Oregon, they are try'n to stop 12 and under years of age from riding ATV's...
It doesn't effect only Oregonians, This affects ANYONE who rides the Oregon Dunes. Think about the impact this will have if it goes through. Many people will not come on vacation here, the entire state will lose revenue.
It should be that all children go through an ATV safety course and
be educated, not striped of the ability to join the family on a sport
they have enjoyed for Years.
Please take the time to write these senator's if you have children that ride.
Senators ALAN C. BATES of Ashland (
[email protected] ) and RICHARD DEVLIN of Tualitin (
[email protected] ) sponsored Senate Bill 49 which was introduced to the Senate this week. This Bill prohibits operation of all-terrain vehicles by persons less than 12 years of age. It restricts operation of all-terrain vehicles by persons 12 to 15 years of age based on vehicle engine displacement. It prohibits sellers of all-terrain vehicles from knowingly selling all-terrain vehicles for use by persons less than 12 years of age or for use by persons 12 to 15 years of age in violation of engine displacement limitations. It punishes by fine of $90.
It also directs State Parks and Recreation Department to produce and provide safety information to retailers. It also directs retailers of all-terrain vehicles to distribute safety information to buyers of all terrain vehicles.
What does everybody think about this bill! This is so upsetting.....My son wants to learn how to race and he wont be able to if this passes!
