Here is her response to me:<BR/><BR/><I>Hi, Mr. Haraldson,<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for emailing me! Sorry it's taken me this long to reply to your email; I do ppreciate your message.<BR/><BR/>House Bill 68, to revise stop requirements for bicycles, was heard in the House Transportation committee on January 12. To date, the committee has not taken action on the bill. I'll keep an eye out for it; if it passes committee, the bill will come to the House floor for consideration.<BR/><BR/>I've received many emails from people supportive of the legislation, and as a bicyclist myself (road and mountain bikes), I'm keenly interested in the more gracious rules for bicyclists-if that includes reasonable consideration for traffic and transportation safety. I've supported Bozeman's "We Share The Road" policy, and it seems this legislation could promote a more practical approach for bicyclists.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for emailing me. I really appreciate your support for this measure! <BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>JP Pomnichowski<BR/>Montana State Representative<BR/>House District 63, Bozeman/Gallatin County<BR/>406 587 7846 pomnicho@montanadsl.net</I>samhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629434332640594984noreply@blogger.com
