Legislative Report March 16, 2015 John BantaOut of date as soon as I write it

Go on to the ABATE of Florida Website www.abateflorida.com , Click on the Legislative Information Center and subscribe toemail list. Ideally you would get the latest legislative news and press releases. Contact the State Legislative Trustee, DarrinBrooks, to get on his email list. He sends news reports of legislative activities on a myriad of topics, not necessarily those thatABATE is involved in. If you are on these lists, you will get the latest alerts regarding bills when they are being heard in com-mittee. At times you will be asked to contact committee members to provide a push to get them heard. Some things DO movequickly and a lot can happen in a month which could use input from our members.

House District 24 Paul Renner Republican (NRA endorsed), Adam Morley Democrat

ABATE of Florida supports enhanced penalties for those who injure or kill vulnerable road users.

In 2005, our lobbyist, Doc Reichenbach, was successful in getting an amendment to a bill that changed the following statuesso the word “shall” replaced “may” which means MUST.

318.19 Mandatory hearings for those who are involved in an accident with severe injury or death

318.14 (5) the actual stiffer penalties for those under 318.19. $500 for causing incapacitating injuries, $1000 for causing death.

(The same year, Doc was able to get the apehanger law changed to shoulder height.) After the bill became law, it took a letterto the head 7th circuit court judge to revise the memo dealing with sentencing guidelines, despite DHSMV sending memos to allcircuit courts on new laws. Currently, if judges are aware that an injury or death occurred at all, they usually withhold adjudica-tion if you have a lawyer. In Volusia County reckless driving charges never seem to be used. So now we need more laws. Ourchapter would prefer backing off on enhanced penalties. However, the ABATE state delegation believes that since there is somuch minimum mandatory laws, motorcyclists should get something for themselves. There needs to be something between a$122 ticket and vehicular manslaughter to get the attention of those with poor driving skills. In recent sessions, committeechairmen have sat on this bill.

ABATE of Florida will seek State funding for our Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Program. These funds come froman additional fee paid only by motorcycle registrations under FS 320.08 (1) (c). It was taken out of the budget last year and ve-toed the year before. DHSMV Ridesmart program has been established so this will be a tough sell.

TALLAHASSEE: These are the statues I check bills for:

316.211 (3b) $10000 medical coverage requirements for helmetless riders.

324.021 (1) PD Financial Responsibility exemption for motorcycles routed to 627.732 (3)

627.732 (3) PIP No Fault exemption for motorcycles; “Motor vehicle” means any self-propelled vehicle with four or morewheels

ENHANCED PENALTIES FOR THOSE WHO KILL OR INJURE VULNERABLE ROAD USERS

CS/HB231 Transportation Passidomo; Revises provisions relating to the rights & safety of vulnerable users (includes mo-torcycles) of public rights-of-way; prohibits assault of bicycle riders; revises provisions for careless driving; provides penaltiesfor specified infractions contributing to bodily injury of vulnerable users; requires traffic law & substance abuse educationcourses to include certain instruction; requires driver license examinations to include test of applicant's knowledge of certaintraffic laws; requires driver education courses offered by school district to include certain information.

HB 231 passed successfully out of its first committee (Highway & Water Safety Subcommittee)! Doc was there and was able tospeak in support of the Bill very successfully. ABATE of Florida is supporting this bill.

The penalties are weaker and I think the passing in a no passing zone needs work. Here is the response I received from myState Representative when I contacted him about this bill.

Dear John,

Thank you for contacting my office and bringing this to our attention. It isalways important to me to know where my district stands on these issues if I amgiven the chance to vote on this in Session 2015. Feel free to contact mydistrict office if you have any questions.As a resident of House District 24 please feel free to contact my officeregarding any individual assistance with a state issue, program or agency. Myoffice information is listed below.Again, thank you for taking the time to contact my office. I truly appreciatethe special trust and confidence that the citizens of District 24 have placed inme, as their elected Representative.Kindest regards,Travis HutsonState Representative District 244875 Palm Coast Parkway, NW Suite 5Palm Coast, FL 32137(386) 446-7644

SB 908 Transportation Altman: Revising provisions relating to the passing of a vehicle; prohibiting passing and turning infront of a vulnerable user in an unsafe manner; prohibiting harassing, taunting, or throwing an object at a person riding a bicy-cle; providing criminal penalties; requiring traffic law and substance abuse education courses to include instruction on trafficlaws relating to rights and safety of vulnerable users, etc.

SB1254 Noncriminal Traffic Infractions Bean: Providing criminal penalties for certain noncriminal traffic infractions thatcause serious bodily injury or death to a person, etc.

Makes a 2nd violation of causing an accident resulting in death a felony

SB1376 Traffic Offenses Evers: Providing criminal penalties for a person who commits a moving violation that causes seriousbodily injury to, or causes the death of, a vulnerable road user; requiring that the person pay a specified fine, serve a minimumperiod of house arrest, and attend a driver improvement course, etc.

This is the bill Doc worked on.

Here’s how they compare

Cause an accident resulting in bodily injuries

Current FS318.14 (5) $500 fine injuries 3mos. Suspension; $1000 fine 6mos. suspension for deaths.

HB231 & SB908 up to $2000 fine, 6mos. License suspension OR 100-200 hours community service and Safety course within 1year unless an extension is approved

SB1376 Injuries $1500 fine, 30 days house arrest, revoke license 30 days. Death $5000 fine, 180 days house arrest, revoke li-cense 1 year

CELL PHONES

There are many bills files that expand the penalties for using cell phones. I am not including them in my published legislative report.Motorcyclists know texting is the worst form of distracted driving. Eating your French Fries after the drive thru window is also dis-tracting. ABATE of Florida has no position on these bills. We finally got a texting statue last session. Public awareness is being raisedwith interstate message boards and TV commercials. But in the Florida tradition of criminalizing America, there are several bills in-creasing restrictions and fines.

GUN DISCHARGE

I will not be tracking these, but Darrin probably is. At issue is home gun ranges and there are billsto totally restrict this to letting local government decide.SPEED TRAPS

HB421 Traffic Enforcement Agencies and Traffic Citations: Designates counties & municipalities as traffic enforcement agencies;prohibits establishing traffic citation quotas; requires county or municipality to submit report of its traffic citation revenue & its expensesfor operating law enforcement agency during fiscal year to Legislative Auditing Committee.

CS/SB264 Traffic Enforcement Agencies and Traffic Citations: Designating counties and municipalities as traffic enforcementagencies for purposes of the section and prohibiting them from establishing traffic citation quotas; requiring a county or municipalityto submit a report of its traffic citation revenue and its expenses for operating a law enforcement agency during a fiscal year to theLegislative Auditing Committee under certain circumstances, etc.

SENATE BACKS PLAN TO END SPEED TRAPSPointing to a long-running controversy about a speed trap in the small North Florida town of Waldo, a Senate panel Wednesdayapproved a proposal to make clear that local police officers cannot have quotas for writing traffic tickets. Sen. Rob Bradley, aFleming Island Republican who is sponsoring the bill (SB 264), said quotas have long been banned for state law-enforcementofficers. But he said questions remained about whether the ban applied to local police. Along with clearing up that question, thebill would require cities or counties to publicly report if revenue from traffic tickets exceeds 50 percent of the costs of operatingtheir law-enforcement agencies. Such disclosure could indicate whether local governments are relying on tickets to pay for policeservices. "I think the more information, the better,'' Bradley said before the Senate Transportation, Tourism and Economic Devel-opment Appropriations Subcommittee unanimously approved the bill. Waldo, along U.S. 301 near Gainesville, was accused foryears of being a speed trap. The issue ultimately led to the town's police department being disbanded last year after officers saidthey had been placed under a ticket quota. The Florida Police Chiefs Association and the Florida Police Benevolent Associationsignaled support for the bill during Wednesday's meeting. Bradley's district includes Waldo, which now gets police services fromthe Alachua County Sheriff's Office.

BODY CAMERAS. Daytona Beach Police Chief Chitwood likes body cameras; however is this a form of an unfunded mandate? TheFeb legislative report has more details.

SB248 Recording of Law Enforcement Activities Smith: Citing this act as the "Police and Citizen Protection Act"; requiring uni-formed officers assigned primarily to patrol duties to be equipped with body cameras; exempting the recordings of such activities fromspecified provisions relating to the interception of wire, electronic, and oral communications, etc.

HB57 Recording of Law Enforcement Activities Jones, S. and Williams, A. (CO-SPONSORS) Van Zant: Designates act "Police andCitizen Protection Act"; requires uniformed officers assigned to patrol duties to be equipped with body cameras; requires use of suchcameras during specified activities; exempts recordings of such activities from specified provisions relating to interception of wire, elec-tronic, & oral communications.(2) Every uniformed law enforcement officer in this state who is primarily assigned to patrol duties shall

be equipped with a body camera while performing such duties. The camera

shall be used by the officer to record activities that take place during motor vehicle stops or otherlaw enforcement actions taken during the course of his or her official duties.

OTHER

HB197 Tracking Devices or Applications: Prohibits use of tracking device or application to determine location or movement of per-son without person's consent; creates presumption that consent is revoked upon initiation of specified proceedings; provides excep-tions.

SB1186 Transportation Brandes: Providing that certain commercial sponsorship may be displayed on state greenway and trail facili-ties not included within the Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network; requiring the governing body of any independent special dis-trict created to regulate the operation of public vehicles on public highways to consist of a certain number of members; authorizing apublic transit provider to enter into agreements with a transportation network company for the provision of certain transit services,etc. Sometimes things will get tacked on to innocuous bills

SB1162 Driver Licenses: Sachs: Decreasing the fee for the renewal or extension of aClass E driver license or a license restricted to motorcycle use; decreasing the replace-ment fee for a driver license; revising the allocation of such fee; providing that any vet-eran honorably discharged from the Armed Forces who has served at least 1 day duringa wartime period and who is qualified to obtain a driver license under this chapter is ex-empt from all fees required by this section, etc.

ETHANOL

H.R. 21 U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) This bill would repeal the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s waiver decisionrelated to E15 fuel and the authority of the agency to grant further decisions in the matter, until the EPA seeks an independent sci-entific analysis of the effects of gasoline containing up to 15 percent ethanol.

From the MRFMarch 9, 2015

The WiFi Innovation Act of 2015Congress wants more wi-fi available to the general public, and in order to do so, both the U.S. House and Senate havelegislation to explore one possibility of getting you a new way to access a wireless signal. Congressmen Bob

Latta (R-OH) has introduced H.R. 861 and Senator Marco Rubio has introduced S 424, and both do the same thing. They order a test to see if awi-fi signal can coexist with the incumbent licensee on the 5850-5925 megahertz (MGh) band. Currently the most popular band for wi-fi is 2.4and the incumbent licensee for the 5805-5925 MGh is vehicles. The license was dedicated for use by vehicles in 1999 by the FCC, before wi-fiwas even available for public use. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) is tracking this issue because like all driver assist technology, wefear that this will reduce the amount time drivers spend watching the road. “Technologies that take the actual operators out of the equation arealways worrisome; this is no different. If operators become accustomed to not needing to pay attention for red lights and stop signs, we all knowthat will pose problem for motorcyclists,” said Jeff Hennie Vice President of Government Relations and Public Affairs for the Motorcycle RidersFoundation. The MRF does not currently have a position on this issue. The distracted driving portion of this issue is completely separate fromthis legislation. This legislation simply conducts a technical test to see what's possible with modern technology. The distracted driving issue willalways be part of the discussion as more and more technology is employed by vehicles.

March 11, 2015Congress looks at Vision ZeroVision Zero is the concept that it is possible to drop the fatalities within the road transportation community to zero and that it should be done atall cost. Vision Zero plans are lofty and admirable, but the approach is just not plausible. At the core of Vision Zeros philosophy, life and healthcan never be exchanged for other benefits within the society, rather than the more conventional comparison between costs and benefits, wherea monetary value is placed on life and health, and then that value is used to decide how much money to spend on a road network towards thebenefit of decreasing how much risk. The plan also places human life and health as a priority over mobility and other objectives of the trafficsystem. It also describes how we should build roads with no possibility of a side or frontal impact, and prohibition to use those roads on morevulnerable road users. Another part of plan is speed limits; should the plan be adopted in full American speed limits would plummet to 19 milesper hour in areas where there is contact between pedestrians and cars, and 43 mph for all other roads. The creators envisioned a slow mov-ing, padded fantasyland right at home in a Disney movie, not the real world. Vision Zero began in Sweden in 1997 and has since been adoptedin some part at least by Netherlands and United Kingdom. In the United States some major cities are also adopting the concept; so far NewYork, Portland, and San Francisco are all on board. A lawyer in Boston gives out a law school scholarship in the attempt to get the city to takelook at considering the idea. Last week Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) introduced H.R. 1274, a bill that would make money availableto local governments to develop and implement Vision Zero plans. A mandatory national helmet law would just be the jumping off point. Makeno mistake that the full implementation of Vision Zero in America would eliminate motorcycling as its known now. Of course it is everyone’s wishthat no one would become injured or killed on our roads. Every life is precious and every American should do all in their power to reduce blood-shed on the roads. But simply slowing every vehicle and prohibiting other “vulnerable” vehicles from the traffic mix, all while padding the road-ways and interior of vehicles and installing cameras everywhere to find the scofflaws, is the stuff of science fiction, not the real world. VisionZero has a blind spot; it does not take into account any budget, financing or the effects on the economy by slowing traffic. Zero fatalities is al-ways the goal, however when you have moving parts operated by human beings traffic safety will always have a component that will never be acontrol for: human behavior. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation will keep you informed on this issue.

LOCALFrom the News-Journal: On Dec. 13, 2014: Katherine Johnson, 82 (DOB 1932), made a left hand turn in front of Robert Clayton, 61, on SR415. Clayton died at the hospital. The newspaper made it a point to say he was not wearing a helmet. NO CHARGES
