	A.B.A.T.E, in all it's various forms across America, has always been labeled as the "Helmet" lobby and that's as true here in Ohio as anywhere else. We don't lobby "against" helmet usage but rather for the right of adult riders to make a choice concerning helmet usages. The difference seems small but it is NOT. Please click here to read more!

New legislation has been introduced in the Ohio General Assembly to hold all motor vehicle operators more accountable for their actions.
Senate Bill 158, introduced by Senator Joy Padgett (R-Coshocton) and House Bill 207, introduced by Representative Jon Peterson (R-Delaware), propose enhanced penalties for those convicted of or pleading guilty to a right-of-way, an assured clear distance ahead (rear-end collision), or a marked lane (sideswipe) violation that results in serious injury or death to another roadway user. A portion of the fines collected would be designated for use by the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) for highway awareness programs.
Visit the AMA Rapid Response Center at www.AMADirectlink.com to learn how you can get involved in supporting SB-158 and HB-207. Click on the “Rapid Response Center” on the left side of our home page, then select “OH” from the pull-down menu during “StateWatch.” Or click here to go directly to the Action Alert.
