**COHVCO ACTION ALERT**

From Jerry Abboud (COHVCO Executive Director)

House Bill 1264 that allows gives OHV owners the option of obtaining a limited use license plate and registration to travel on unpaved roads in Colorado is being heard Friday April 1st In House Appropriations. We need your support!!!!
HB1264 will finally require counties to allow travel by licensed and registered OHVs on unpaved county roads. The plate and registration is a one time fee of about $25, good for as long as you own the vehicle and there is no property tax or annual fees except for the OHV registration to fund work to keep trails open.
Here is how you can help:

• Familiarize yourself with the 13 members of the House Appropriations Committee and look at the counties they represent.
• If one of the legislators represents you, then write a brief, sincere and polite request by e-mail to support House Bill 1264 in Appropriations.
• If you prefer to call, there is a link to each legislator's home page that contains their office number so you may also call and leave a message of support.
• Do so now. The sooner the better and please, please be polite

The Message you want to convey:
Below is an example of an off the cuff e-mail supporting HB1264 from a 66 year old rider.

I was just reading the article in the Post and i would very much like to see this bill pass. What can i do to help? I will talk to all my friends and make them aware of this. A good example is Black Bear Pass by Telluride. It is one way down. Once down there is no way to get back to where you are parked without going on streets in Telluride to Imogine Pass. I would very much like to see this before i die (I'm 66 years old).

Express yourself in similar personal terms. Give an example of how difficult it is to know what one county allows from another. We need uniformity. OHV recreation is a big part of tourism from both in and out of state riders. We all don't have 21 year old hearts and lungs or legs and we want access!

That's it. Now please go make your voice heard.

why can't I just write them all?

[FZRguy]

Hope it passes. This would really be great.

You could write them all. However, their aids most likely will not even look at your letter depending on the address your put down. You could put a return address down for each district but thats a lot of work.

[Sparker]

any updates on this?

[brennahm]

So basically if you buy the $15 plate you could ride any vehicle with one of these "plates" on rampart range road?

[FZRguy]

I don't think it has passed yet. My April newsletter is saying a one-time fee of $35....any road with a speed limit of 45 or less.

Bill died in the Senate. It is scheduled to be reintroduced next year.
