Kids Just Want to Ride Act
By: Jason Giacchino

The Kids Just Want to Ride Act was introduced last week by Representative Denny Rehberg (MT) in the U.S. House of Representatives. The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) strongly supports the Kids Just Want to Ride Act and is urging everyone to call their Representative to become an original cosponsor.

The Act is a legislative exemption for youth-model motorcycles and ATVs from the lead provisions in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), known as the Lead Law. The CPSIA effectively banned the sale of small displacement recreational vehicles due to overly restrictive lead content standards.

The AMA continues to need you and anyone else concerned about the future of youth riding to call your Representative and ask them to cosponsor the Kids Just Want to Ride Act.
