Bill would give motorcycle riders access to disabled tags

MADISON (WITI) -- State Sen. Frank Lasee (R - DePere) is expected to introduce a bill on Monday, November 4th that would give motorcycle drivers or passengers the same access to blue disabled tags as someone in a car. That's as long as the riders or passengers fit the established medical criteria.

Right now, there's a clause in state law which denies anyone driving or riding a motorcycle this privilege.

In a statement issued on Friday, November 1st, Lasee said, "2013 marks the 110th anniversary of Harley-Davidson and what a great time to fix this loophole in state law and give folks on motorcycles the same rights as anyone else."
