Subject is:
Sb1566: Is a very unpopular and unfair bill for all off-road
enthusiasts.
As always be very polite and respectful with your phone calls
There is a very unpopular bill for off-road users that was passed in the veto session and it was the 2nd House Amendment of SB1566. The link below will give you that info.
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=09700SB1566ham002&GA=97&SessionId=84&DocTypeId=SB&LegID=57454&DocNum=1566&GAID=11&Session=0
We have a sit down meeting with the IDNR (Illinois Dept. Natural Resources) Director, Marc Miller.
He wanted this meeting in January before the rules are written for it and we would like to have it before the State Seminar so that we can inform you of the results.
At this meeting for ABATE will be "Hunter" John Harris, Stacey Rigsby, who are both very ardent members do the off-road community and Jay Hall who is into racing and off-road riding and will be there to give a businessman's point of view, Todd Vandermyde,and myself (if 5 are allowed in).
Those that are offended and opposed to this bill are asked to call Jay Curtis, Chief of Staff for Marc Miller IDNR Director and ask him to support the changes and fixes that Hunter, Stacey, and Jay have for this bill
Below are the ph #s for the office and staff as you asked for but I highly recommend the # that you use would be for for Chief of Staff and Director of Legislative Affairs, Jay Curtis (217) 785-0075.
You don't want the Director being upset with the amount of ph.calls he would be getting as he does make the decisions on the RULES and the Chief of Staff is more in tune with legislation.
