FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


We finally got the numbers from the Nebraska Health and Human Services System, Regarding health costs on Motorcycle Accident's in Nebraska.  These are going to surprise you.

  1. Take a look at the total costs paid by the state and then the costs paid per means( each individual Claim average).  It's not millions as has been stated by our opponents.
  2. The state is presently  at a 5.6% fatality rate per 10,000 registration the same as 1983(prior to the helmet law) with the registration being the same. This is very a important statement as Riders Education was very minimal in 1983.
  3. We also have a printed statement from the Director of Nebraska Tourism that the passing of LB303 would be a substantial increase in Tourism revenues.
  4. We have also uncovered a study done in 1991 by O.R.I. Polk & Co.( nationally recognized sales analysts) that shows motorcycle sales dropped 41% in Nebraska after the law was passed.

Please use these attachments and numbers in your future pleas for support of our bills.
