SUMMARY
This amendment reduces from 3 feet to 2 feet the minimum distance a motorist must leave between the motorist's vehicle and a bicycle the motorist is passing. This amendment also strikes the changes proposed in the bill and Committee Amendment "A" to the penalty for failure to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle, which has the effect of retaining the provisions in current law, which does not provide for a monetary penalty.
