Bill now goes back to the California State Assembly where it originated, for concurrence—meaning that the house of origin must approve changes made to a bill while it was in the second House. <a href="http://lanesplittingislegal.com/lane-splitting-news/ab-51-california-lane-splitting-bill-to-be-updated"><span style='color:black;text-decoration:none'>AB 51 has been amended</span></a> since it was introduced last year, but heavy involvement from all involved parties along the way makes it likely that the bill will be approved. If not, it’s eligible for a two-house conference committee composed of six legislators, three from each house. If required, the committee meets (in public session) to reconcile differences between the Assembly and Senate versions of the bill. NOTE: The bill is not without controversy in the motorcycle community mostly to do with how it might be administered. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>RUNS AND EVENTS. </span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Be sure to check the Bailing Wire for ABATE events. <span style='color:black'>Here’s a few to put on your calendar:</span></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:black'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><b><u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>ABATE Local 11 Meeting</span></u></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> – </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>August 14<span style='color:black'> – Escondido Moose Lodge, 25721 Jesmond Dene Road, Escondido – 11 a.m.</span> They have seats and you can come early and have breakfast, too.<span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><b><u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>ABATE GOLDEN RENDEZVOUS</span></u></b><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> (ABATE STATE RUN).
