Bill to Differentiate Autocycles from Motorcycles Passes in Senate

The Senate has passed four bills today to be sent to the House for further consideration.

SB 173 would provide exemptions that would differentiate autocycles from having to adhere to motorcycle requirements.

SB 235 would provide that after its initial registration the annual registration fees of motorcycles are owed in the same month as the original registration. The bill provides that, in that way, motorcycles would be treated the same as other motor vehicles.

SB 259 would require administrators of intestate estates to give bond and take oath.

SB 473 would clarify the circumstances in which naturally shed deer antlers may be lawfully collected, possessed and sold and to clarify that certain wildlife or parts thereof cannot be traded or bartered.

Senate Bills 570-572 were introduced. 

Senate Bills 350, 423, 441, 481, 490, 491, 492, 496 and 505 and House Bills 2099, 2301, 2347 and 2431 were advanced to a second reading.

Of those bills, HB 2099 was amended by Senator Charles Trump, R-Morgan.

The Senate also voted in favor of adding a second reference for SB 219 to the Senate Finance Committee on a movement from Senator Ronald Miller, D-Greenbrier.
