2008
SESSION
The
Education Bill was signed into law by the
Governor on July 1. This Bill with the
combined efforts of the Rhode Island
Motorcycle Association and the very
helpful Lobbyist for Harley Davidson will allow outside
contractors to offer Rider Education for first time
motorcycle licensees. Up until now only
the State Community College could offer the mandated Riders
Education Program for license purposes.
This was a
three year project from its first conception, through its many
rewrites and then finally
its passing.
THEY MAY WEAR US DOWN BUT DON'T LET THEM WEAR YOU
OUT.
