The Senate Transportation Committee needs to hear from YOU about Sen. Lovelett's amendment!Thank you for all the work to get the jaywalking repeal bill, SB 5383, to where it is. Right now, we are in a pivotal moment.
In order for the bill to remain alive, we need two things to happen, and YOU can help.
First, we need Senators in the Senate Transportation Committee to vote on Sen. Lovelett’s amendment. This amendment incorporates feedback from stakeholders, and it is our understanding that it keeps the core components of the bill that address eliminating unnecessary stops for safe jaywalking. While we haven’t seen the full text of the amendment, we have worked directly with staff and are confident that it maintains the intent of the bill. If the bill is kept alive, there will be further opportunity for input. Second, it needs to be voted out of the committee and into Rules. This is sometimes referred to as being “exec’d out”. That means it needs to make it onto the committee’s calendar within the next couple days. |
Your help is vital. Tell your Senators to vote on the amendment and exec this bill out of committee TODAY. >> ACTION ALERT: Pass the jaywalking repeal bill out of committee <<
Thank you for your advocacy,
