"A state senator and a motorcycle rights organization are working together to ensure jail time and other harsher penalties for drivers who injure or kill motorcyclists."

"The bill would require a person, if determined to be at fault for a crash killing a motorcyclist, to serve a minimum 90 days incarceration. A court could also force him to pay a fine of no less than $1,000, attend a driving course and revoke his driver’s license for no less than a year.

If a motorcyclist is injured in a crash, the driver at fault could serve up to a month in jail, pay a fine of no less than $500 and have his license taken away for no less than 30 days."
