Important Legislation Action: AMA Urging Congress to Safeguard Youth Access To Off-Highway Vehicles

This is, of course, is about the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and its restrictions on lead. Please contact your legislators and ask them to support language in the fiscal year 2010 Financial Services appropriations bill or the Omnibus Appropriations bill which will exempt off-road motorcycles from the CPSIA lead requirements. The fact is that no kid will be chewing on the battery terminals or the Schrader valve on their wheels. And, if they do not get vehicles their size, they will likely use something which is much too large for their age. So, think about safety and help get this language written into law!
