WARNING WARNING
A friend in Corpus called about some rules for inspections on motorcycles that we were unaware of. He was taking classes to become an Inspection Station at his shop.
A tail light must measure at least 15" from center to ground. A bike must have both Front and rear brakes. One rule that he didn't know yet, that to pass a safety inspection the handlebars can be no more than 15" above the seat. I was told of one location that has been shut down for improper inspections.
These are not laws. The law allows the agency to set guidelines and they use a national standard. Seems we have another fish to fry on capitol hill. (our capitol)

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Jeb Bush signed bills Thursday that ban police from keeping comprehensive lists of law-abiding gun owners and give gun range owners almost total immunity from lead cleanup lawsuits.
The National Rifle Association praised Bush for signing the bills, both of which were pushed hard by the gun-owners' group.
Under the new law, police and government agencies could be fined $5 million if they keep a list of people who own firearms. The measure doesn't apply to lists created as part of a criminal investigation.
The gun range bill arose out of a lawsuit that sought to force a gun range to clean up lead from old ammunition. Environmentalists say if the lead leaches into the groundwater it can be dangerous.
The measure, which Bush signed in a private ceremony, bans such lawsuits, but requires state environment regulators to set up a protocol for how gun ranges should prevent lead contamination. Among the ideas is the use of lead-free ammunition.
If ranges follow the plan, they can't be sued.
