SEMA Action Network Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yes. This is the third time this bill has been introduced. However this year we have an advantage as Assemblyman Bill Reilich is now on the Transportation Committee. Reilich is the new Chairman of the State Automotive Enthusiast Leadership Caucus (sponsered by SEMA's D.C. Office) and he has activitely solicited support from the Committee members. To date, he has enlisted the support of at least 10 (and still counting) other New York legislators in joining this pro-hobby Caucus.I would urge AACA members to back up Reilich's efforts and correspond with Committee members about this bill.Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or need additional information.Thank you!Jason Tolleson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
