Motorcycle licensing bill killed by North Carolina Senate panel
In Raleigh AP report, the Senate Public Roads Committee sent an unfavorable House bill requiring motorcycle drivers to pass tests and obtain a special license. Sen. John Burney criticized the measure, saying it would affect scooters and even bikes with small motors, and could harm beach scooter rental businesses. A separate Senate bill would boost municipal share of franchise tax from 0.75 percent to about 0.5 of receipts, aiming to add 5 to 6 million dollars annually to city and town revenues.
