So as an update to my and Ken's whole saga trying to fix part of the application process for OHV stickers for dual sport bikes. We got language included in the MA state budget passed by the senate. The house still needs to pass that budget, and it needs to include line SECTION 77A. "Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the division of law enforcement shall, for an application for registration of a snow vehicle or a recreation vehicle, accept as proof of sales tax paid, a valid registration certificate issued by the registrar of motor vehicles.” People that live in MA can call their state congressmen or send them an email. It can just say "please be sure to include section 77A in the budget as introduced by Senator Rosenberg" or something like that. I am, totally, shocked that I fought this up to this level. If you do not know, registering a dual sport in MA now requires a hard to get form from the MA department of revenue, but they already issue us a registration that shows tax paid. The DEP do not currently accept that. This amendment seeks to fix that.

Please send an email to your state congressman to make it easier to register dual sport bikes if you live in MA.
Dear Congressman (name)
Please be sure to include section 77A in the budget as introduced by Senator Rosenberg. It is worded "Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the division of law enforcement shall, for an application for registration of a snow vehicle or a recreation vehicle, accept as proof of sales tax paid, a valid registration certificate issued by the registrar of motor vehicles.” This will help motorcyclists abide by the law when riding off road in Massachusetts.
Thanks
