Subject: NH 2008 Bike Bill "HB-1203" clears the Senate!
May 20, 2008
Hello! Good news for NH bicyclists!
As of the vote taken on May 15, �our� 2008 NH bike bill HB-1203 passed the Senate without any amendments or serious discussion. The final step, at a date to be defined, will be the approval signature by Governor John Lynch. At that time a press release will be issued to inform the public of the new rules which will be in effect on January 1, 2009. Between now and then, NH DOT construction and maintenance guidelines will be reviewed, documentation within DMV must be updated, drivers education instructors need to be informed to revise their programs, and the computerized NH drivers test should be updated to reflect the �3-foot rule.� BWA-NH has experience working with all these disciplines and expects to be involved during the implementation phase of HB-1203. When everything is in place come 2009, all bicyclists using our shared NH roadways should experience safer and more pleasant cycling. New Hampshire will be the 20th state to implement similar legislation as bicycling becomes more widely recognized as a valid means of transportation. While in the Senate Transportation Committee, the reflective clothing amendment as added in the House was questioned and was almost deleted, but in the end the bill as passed by the House was left unchanged by the Senate. (See our web site www.bwanh.org for details.) BWA-NH is very pleased with this result after just six months of submitting a bill deemed controversial by some parties, likewise we wish to express sincere thanks to Representative Gene Andersen of Lebanon as the sponsor who made everything happen. Bicyclists and motorists need to understand that our shared roadways are meant to transport people via any type of legal vehicle. HB-1203 helps to further legitimatize the bicyclist as a true vehicle operator by making both motorists and road construction crews more aware that our roadways are meant for more than cars. Also, a word of thanks to everyone who sent emails and letters to the House and Senate Transportation Committees or testified in person during the hearing process. The NH legislators heard you loud and clear, so now we are just one step away from HB-1203 being signed into law by Governor John Lynch.
Thank you!
