Senate Bill 148 faces its last big challenge as it returns to the Colorado House for a crucial vote. This vote may mean we either get a 3-foot passing distance or the bill dies.

Conference Committee Fixes SB-148:

On Monday, April 13, the Conference Committee voted (4 to 1) to remove the confusing amendment attached by opponents to the Bicycle Safety Bill. This update by the Committee is exactly what was needed to keep the bill language clear and consistent. (Details and votes from the Committee hearing are on our website.)

Senate Bill 148 returns to the Colorado House and, if it passes, then goes on to the Senate. No amendments can be offered. It is just a “yes” or “no” vote on the entire bill. The House vote may happen anytime this week. Please take action today. If you are reading this later in the week, there still may be time. Check our website to see if your call will be in time.

Thank you for all your help on this bill. It started in January and has been a long struggle to keep 3-feet passing language alive. Your calls are making a difference, showing that the people of Colorado can achieve safer roads even when facing well-funded opponent groups.
