On January 25, Representative Denny Rehberg (MT) introduced H.R. 412, the Kids Just Want to Ride Act of 2011, which would exempt kids' off-highway vehicles (OHVs) from the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008 that effectively bans their sale beginning December 31, 2011. H.R. 412 is the most promising and viable legislative remedy available to permanently exclude kid-sized motorcycles and ATVs from the unintended consequences of the CPSIA.
The AMA strongly supports this bipartisan effort and is urging everyone who is concerned with the future of youth riding to contact his or her representative and ask them to cosponsor H.R. 412, the Kids Just Want to Ride Act of 2011.
