From Bike Maryland
In Maryland's General Assembly, an amended House Bill 214 passed the House 113-24 and now moves on to the Senate. The first Senate hearing on the bill was last Thursday. On the Senate side, SB 1123 is sponsored by Senators Klausmeier, Raskin, and Lee. A huge thanks to everyone who called or emailed their delegates. Learn more about the amendments here. In summary, if drivers cannot give three feet they will have to slow down, similar to California's three foot law and our "Move Over; slow down" law for passing emergency vehicles on the side of the road.
Marylanders should know that Raskin is running for Chris Van Hollen's Congressional Seat. It would be good to have another bike advocate at the Federal level when the highway bill comes up.
