Tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 17, at 4 p.m., in House Committee Room A-008, the House Transportation Subcommittee: Highway Safety and Policy is scheduled to hear House Bill 24.
HB 24 authorizes road whips, who are operating vehicles during certain fox hunts, to display flashing amber warning lights when such vehicles are not in motion for the purpose of warning other vehicles of such a hunt happening in the area. The bill requires such vehicles to also display a sign reading “Horse Crossing With Rider.”
This important bill will not only protect the hounds and the horse and rider, but the general public as well. This bill gives road whips a flashing light and signage to help give an unsuspecting driver a warning to stop or continue with caution.
Please use our Take Action button to email the members of the subcommittee urging them to SUPPORT this important public and hunting safety bill.
Don’t forget to forward this email to your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen, urging them to also contact the subcommittee members for support of HB 24
