  • MIC’s General Counsel Paul Vitrano testified April 29, 2010 in support of federal legislation to stop the ban on youth-sized all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and motorcycles. The hearing held by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection focused on a proposed bill, the “Consumer Product Safety Enhancement Act” (CPSEA). The bill, drafted by Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA), aimed at resolving unintended consequences of the CPSIA, including the current ban on youth motorcycles and ATVs.
