This bill having been read on two different days, the question now is shall the bill pass finally? The Clerk will call the roll.
I have a question. Is that in order? My question is I note that we mentioned parental responsibility for kids under 18 for motor bikes or motor vehicles, to drive a motor vehicle on grass in the park. Certainly I agree with everyone that we don't need them on Fairmount park grounds. But my question is if a child is 18, they ought to have a license in a first SECOND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE CALENDAR place. I don't understand our parental responsibility section.
Thank you, Madam President. Although I introduced this bill on your behalf, it was my recollection from the testimony at the public hearing that you cannot be licensed to drive such vehicles because they are not legal to be driven in Pennsylvania at all. There's not an issue of -- the issue of a minor is the issue of someone below the age of 18. The parental responsibility issue which was discussed was that some of these individuals who are under age receive these motor vehicles from their parents. Their parents by and sanction their ownership and use, and therefore, should be held equally responsible with the child.
Councilman Kenney, weren't those vehicles rather expensive?
Yes. I think testimony indicated that anywhere to 2,000 to $3,000.
Thank you, Madam President. SECOND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE CALENDAR
