HB 253 -- MOTORCYCLE HEADLAMP MODULATORS

SPONSOR:  Davis

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Transportation by a vote of 13 to 0.

This bill allows motorcycle headlamps to be wired to modulate
either the upper beam or the lower beam from its maximum
intensity to a lesser intensity.  The standards for the
modulation are specified in the bill.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2010, FY 2011, and
FY 2012.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will assist in
providing greater motorcycle safety because modulators allow
these vehicles to be more visible.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Davis; Edward
Shepard; and Dean Gunter.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
