motorcycles on our streets and highways increases dramatically; and

continue to demonstrate support for motorcycle safety programs
offered for both beginning and advanced riders; and
WHEREAS, During the month of May, motorcycle organizations
nationwide will hold various events to promote Motorcycle Safety
and Awareness Month with the intention of raising public

can safely share the road with one another and will help reduce
hazardous situations on our streets and highways throughout the
year; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
