SAMUEL CREED RICHMOND
Samuel Creed Richmond, 82, of
Brooks, died Thursday, Nov. 13,
2003, at the Beckley Veterans
Administration Medical Center
following a long illness.
Born Dec. 2, 1920, in Summers
Many times over the course of my
seven years in the Legislature, !
have experienced pride and
satisfaction as important legislation
ofstatewide value, bills I advocated,
gained approval of the Legislature
and Governor. Nine times out often,
seeing such legislation through to
passage is an arduous process,
because controversy usually is
present, but it's well worth the effort.
After seven years of debate, and
repeated valiant but failed efforts to
reach the light of day, proposed all-
terrain vehicle safety legislation is
once again surfacing.
Medical and child advocacy
groups consider such legislation a
major priority. The statistics have
been cited over and over, and every
month it seems there is another
fatality to add to the list. At least 18
West Virginians have died in all-
terrain vehicle accidents this year.
Only two of the 18 people killed in
ATV-related accidents between
January and September were
known to be wearing a helmet, while
five victims were passengers, the
Center for Rural Emergency
Medicine reports. About 40 percent
of ATV fatalities this year involved
riders under the age of 18. All but
six states have ATV safety rules on
the books. With 150,000 residents
who either own or ride ATVs, West
grandsons, Graham and Taft
Stephenson; two great-
grandchildren, Louise and John
Stephenson; and several nieces and
nephews.
Graveside service and burial was
2 p.m. Friday, November 14th. at
Richmond Cemetery , Sandstone,
with Pastor Lynn Maddy officiating.
Burial followed.
There was no visitation.

LEGISLATIVE
U'PDATE
By Delegate Virginia Mahan
riders wear helmets, do not carry
passengers and do not drive the
vehicles on paved surfaces. Some
opponents of ATV restrictions have
resisted any restrictions on vehicle
use; others have agreed that
children could be required to wear
helmets, but not adults. The House
and Senate have adopted a variety
of bills containing a combination of
safety measures, but none have been
successful.
Thistyear, a joint House-Senate
interim°committee is working on a
new approach involving two
separate safety bills with the hope
that at least one will prevail.
During the 2003 session alone,
the House of Delegates passed two
different ATV safety bills. The first
bill was adopted by the House
during the first week of session.
That bill, which was very similar to
House legislation that died in 2002,
included a requirement that anyone
under the age of 18 wear a helmet.
All-terrain vehicles would not have
been permitted on lined roads, but
exemptions were included for trail
crossings and special circumstances
such as providing aid in natural
disasters or for special events. The
legislation would not have prevented
counties or cities from adopting
more restrictive ATV ordinances.
But the Senate passed its own
version, and the legislation went to
conference committee. Just a week
prior to the end of the 2003 session,
the Senate voted to reject the
conference committee's compromise
legislation.
The House tried once more,
cutting the ATV bill to include only
the requirements that riders of ATVs
under the age of 18 wear helmets
while on public property, and that
ATV drivers under the age 'of 18
complete a safety course. The
legislation was sent to the Senate on
the final day of the session, but the
Senate did not vote on it.
Heading into the' 2004 esibh,
one bill being discussed would
contain restrictions related to
children, while another would clarify
where ATVs can be driven.
The bill related to children would
require helmets for riders and
passengers under the age of 18,
require adult presence for night
riding, and phase in safety training
and certification requirements to
limit child riders to ATVs that are
built for children. Under the
proposed provisions, youths could
carry child passengers only on
machines built for children,. Parents
who allow their children to violate
the proposed regulations would face
misdemeanor charges. By 2005, the
year all children would be required
to complete training, the Division of
Motor Vehicles would also be
required to offer free ATV rider
safety training and materials to ATV
dealers to provide training to
potential purchasers.
The second bill would prohibit
ATVs from being driven on paved
roads, but would exempt situations
involving road crossings and farm or
commercial use. That way, ATVs
drivers crossing from one field to
another or from one trail to another
would be permitted to drive on paved
roads for as long as one mile.
While the need for ATV
regulations rankles some who
believe that these are matters better
left to the individual, statistics
provide ample proof that laws
mandating safety measures save
lives. And though many people
would prefer that common sense
prevail, making the passage of such
legislation unnecessary, the majority
of West Virginians now recognize
that it is time to address this issue
before more lives are needlessly lost.
I welcome and appreciate your
input on these issues, or any other
legislative matter. Please call me at
(304)340-3106 or write to Delegate
Virginia Mahan, 215-E, Capitol
ComPlex Charlest0n, WV 25305.
