HB23-1059 (Lane Splitting Study) is going to be PI\u2019d or pulled by the sponsor of the bill. I met very briefly with Rep. Weinberg on Thursday. Prior to our meeting, he had been in contact with Tiffany Cipoletti, the On Highway Government Relations Manager for the AMA, who informed him that the AMA thinks HB1059 was \u201cpoorly written and wasn\u2019t supported by CDOT and CSP.\u201d She went on to say, \u201centering into a study with the DOT and CHP when you know they are opposed may be detrimental to any future efforts.\u201d That seemed to be deciding point for Rep. Weinberg. He had also talked to Capt. Honn (CSP liaison to the Legislature) to confirm CSP\u2019s stance on the bill. At our brief meeting (about 2 minutes), Rep. Weinberg said, \u201cI heard from the AMA and I don\u2019t want to do anything that would be detrimental to the relationship between the bikers and CSP, so I\u2019m going to PI the bill. Meeting over.\u201d But he also said maybe next year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
