UPDATE: These bills have been passed and signed by the Governor.
This process is in the home stretch. Two bills, SB 249 & SB 159, will be up for a vote in the State Assembly (Wednesday, September 13 ) and in the Senate (Friday, September 15) this week. See our previous post on SB 249 for details. While we are disappointed that SB 249 will not contain a sunset provision to more effectively allow for future improvements we still feel that the bill will provide benefits. The current text of SB 249 is here.
In addition to SB 249 which will continue the OHMVR, SB 159 will continue the assessment of user fees. The text of SB 159 is here.
