KRTV: Tester to reintroduce Dirt Bike bill
U.S. Senator Jon Tester plans to reintroduce his “Dirt Bike Bill” when the Senate reconvenes on Tuesday.
The legislation would amend the Consumer Product Safety Act of 2008 to allow dealers to again sell dirt bikes, ATVs, and parts for use by children.
The goal of that act was to keep dangerous products, like toys with high levels of lead, out of the hands of children but the law forced many dealers to stop selling dirt bikes and ATVs for use by children.
