[From Jon Morrison]
All
Del Carr introduced House Bill 1197 last week. https://mlis.state.md.us/2009rs/billfile/hb1197.htm
I will be in Annapolis Thursday before and after the 3 foot passing hearing, seeking additional sponsors for HB 1197 – it would help immensely if you would reach out to your delegates and get the to support the bill, let them know I’ll be stopping by (and let me know if they have a preferred time) and then let me know who I should see!
In the bill draft – [bracketed is proposed removal] BOLD is proposed addition to current law
11-104 – removes configuration restriction for 3 wheeled cycle
21-101 – permits bikes on shoulders
21-304 – allows bikes to pass on shoulders
21-501.1 – permits cyclists to use crosswalks
21-1205.1 – removes the mandatory use requirement for shoulders.

Thank you for copying me on your e-mail to the Governor on HB 1197. I am very supportive of efforts to enhance the safety of bicyclists and will give serious consideration to HB 1197.
Sincerely,
Del. Dana Stein
