CODE RED SB 767 CARNEGIE SVRA ACTION ALERT -OHV UNDER ATTACK
***THIS IS NOT A DRILL***
ACTIONS REQUIRED – Send Letters STAT and Attend July 3
Hearing in Sacramento
As most of you know, the Recreation HQ does not post
alerts unless there is a critical issue that requires action on your part. Well today it is issuing its first CODE RED
action alert in 2019 because anti-OHV interests have adopted and implemented a
highly effective trifecta of litigation, legislation, and regulation to not
only block opening of the acquisition property at Carnegie SVRA but to close
20% or more of the current riding area at the unit. Those efforts are not just limited to Carnegie
SVRA, but include a proposal by Coastal Commission staff to close all of Oceano
Dunes SVRA to OHV use. In addition, those closure efforts are or will also
include Prairie City SVRA and Ocotillo Wells SVRA.
Many of you have already sent in letters to the
legislature as SB 767 journeyed through the CA Senate and now is on its way
through the CA Assembly. As the
political temperature of this bill heats up, it is now time, if possible, to
attend a July 3 hearing for SB 767 before the Assembly Accountability and
Administrative Review Committee at 9:30 a.m. in Room 437 at the State Capitol. Wear your club’s shirt or jersey. Your attendance will make a strong visual
statement about your support for OHV recreation at Carnegie SVRA and elsewhere.
Today as the bill makes its way through the CA Assembly
we are asking you send to send a letter to your state representative stating
your opposition to SB 767 and include a short personal note about why OHV at
Carnegie SVRA and OHV recreation in general is important to you and your
family.
FIND YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE HERE
You have answered the call before as we have fought
similar battles for the right to enjoy responsible OHV recreation on public lands
in California. And now, once again, we
are asking you to answer the call to fight back.
Let’s remember on this 4th of July that FREEDOM
is not FREE and requires constant vigil.
The Recreation HQ looks forward to standing with you at
the July 3 hearing in support of family-oriented OHV access to public lands. Thanks
for your support of responsible OHV recreation on public lands for current and
future generations.
Don Amador
