SOONER STATE ABATE SENTINEL Vol 3 Issue 2 | Page 5

Sooner State ABATE Sentinel - Volume 3 Issue 2 The Biker Community demands Justice regard- ing the horrific May, 2015Waco Incident, where 9 were killed, with many arrested. Hundreds of indictments are pending relative to organized criminal activity. A number of non-indicted riders are suing. Civil Rights Lawsuits regarding this event(i.e. false arrests) must be filed by May 17. NCOM continues to investigate in conjunction with TXCOC&I. Attorneys will keep Bikers in- formed on developments at the upcoming 2017 NCOM Convention in Reno NV. Go to www.txco- cinews.com Texas’ Legislative Session two-year progress includes passing SB754, the Motorcycle Safety Fund Bill Implementation. Twenty percent of renewal fees go to Motorcycle Safety/Share the Road Programs. Unfortunately, SB449 also passed, classifying “Autocycles” as Motorcycles for registration purposes. This will continue to be a thorny issue. Texas ABATE’s 2017 Goals high- light: Addressing Motorcycle Profiling and educat- ing riders of their rights; proactively emphasizing federal noise ordinance attention; repealing the Autocycle Registration Law and redefining Auto- cycle Classification; and authoring new legisla- tion dealing with malfunctioning Red Lights and “Lane Splitting”.
