The Missouri Bicycle Federation wrapped up their 2009 legislative season with some successes, and some issues to come back to. Among the successes is a Sen. Bill Stouffer’s Dead Red bill which allows bicyclists & motorcyclists to proceed through a red light if the actuator failed to detect the vehicle. The Dead Red bill was signed by Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and became law on August 28th. Another controversial bill to allow much greater equestrian access to trails and public lands was strongly opposed by mountain biking and trails groups because of technical details about the way it was written. Thanks to opposition voiced by MoBikeFed and other groups and MoBikeFed’s testimony at two key hearings, the bill was re-written to remove the problematic portions. The improved version was passed and signed by Governor Nixon.
