The Senate version of the Safe Passing Bill (SB 488) passed the House Transportation Committee on Tuesday May 5th. SB 488 was sent to the Local and Consent Calendar to be scheduled for a vote on the House floor. Please follow this link to read SB 488; the “engrossed” version is the current version.
The Senate version is replacing the House version of the bill, which contained a problematic amendment for cyclists – with the concerns of some House members addressed in the Senate bill, the House version is finished.
In upcoming weeks, SB 488 may receive a vote on the House floor. We will keep you posted when we receive updates. At this time, no action is necessary; however, please stand by for additional SB 488 Action Alerts.
