> Georgia Introduces Bill to Severely Limit Suspension Alterations, Lighting
Equipment
>
> A bill (H.B. 192) has been introduced in the Georgia legislature by Rep.
> Bobby Parham that would ban ANY vehicle whose suspension was altered more
> than two inches above or below the factory recommendation. Previously,
this
> law only applied to private passenger cars - not trucks. The bill also
> requires lenses on taillights to meet federal standards and not be
"covered
> or consist of anything other than reflective material installed as
original
> factory equipment or its equivalent replacement."
>
> We Urge You to Contact Your State Legislators Immediately to Oppose H.B.
192
>
> o H.B. 192 would ban reasonably altered vehicles due to overstated
concerns
> with bumper mismatch.
>
> o H.B. 192 discriminates against hobbyists and aftermarket parts makers by
> leaving it solely to the vehicle manufacturers to choose vehicle heights.
>
> o H.B. 192 would force owners of modified vehicles to spend large sums of
> money to reinstall original components.
>
> o H.B. 192 would ban useful alterations that provide adequate clearance
for
> on/off road capability and accommodate heavy loads, larger tires, improved
> suspension and water-fording capability.
>
> o H.B. 192 would ban taillamp covers even when the lamps are not in use.
>
> This bill tramples on the rights of vehicle enthusiasts in Georgia.
Please
