(By Senators Ross, Deem, Caldwell, Love, White, Rowe and

__________
[Originating in the Committee on Transportation.]
__________
Urging, within three years from the date of this resolution,
manufacturers and dealers of all-terrain vehicles design, test
and offer roll bars as optional equipment on every all-terrain
vehicle sold in West Virginia.
Whereas, This legislative body is concerned first and foremost
with the health and safety of every all-terrain vehicle rider in
the state; and
Whereas, All-terrain vehicles equipped with roll bars are a
significant safety improvement over all-terrain vehicles which do
not have such equipment; and
Whereas, It is important that every all-terrain vehicle rider,
but especially the parents of children who will be riding all-
terrain vehicles, have access to the latest and most up-to-date
safety equipment available so that this popular pastime may be
enjoyed safely and with fewer injuries; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby urges, within three years from the date of this resolution, manufacturers and dealers of all-terrain
vehicles design, test and offer roll bars as optional equipment on
every all-terrain vehicle sold in West Virginia; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of
the Department of Transportation for distribution to all-terrain
vehicle manufacturers and dealers.
