Anyone else hoping for new motorcycle laws in 2024? (self.motorcycles)

Just curious to see if any of you out there have been observing any trends that might lead to new motorcycle legislation - for better or worse. I noticed that for 2024 Nebraska surprisingly repealed their motorcycle helmet law making it optional for wear. Definitely raised an eyebrow as they still criminalize lane splitting.

I try to stay on the optimistic side for lane filtering eventually passing here in Virginia but seeing how we are one of only two states where radar detectors are illegal, I think it's fair to say we may just stay in stasis for a while. Anyone else optimistic or pessimistic on new moto laws for this year?

Lane filtering would be amazing but New York never does anything that makes sense so...

Texas officially made it illegal in 2023, was previously just a gray area.

Crap, that's not good. I think Texas has one of the lowest motorcyclists per capita though so I can see how it'd be difficult to advocate for legalization.
