Newest National Monument Designations Pose Continued Threat to Off-Roading
Thu, 07/16/2015 - 09:31
By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

President Obama recently designated three national monuments, including the 700,000-plus-acre Basin and Range National Monument in eastern Nevada, the 330,000-acre Berryessa Snow Mountain Monument in Northern California and the Waco National Monument in Texas. SEMA opposes the designations since it automatically prohibits new roads or trails for motorized vehicles and requires a new land-management plan be drafted that could lead to more road closures. President Obama has now designated 19 national monuments since 2009, more than any other president.   

SEMA supports a collaborative approach to land-use decisions, including input from local citizens, elected leaders and other stakeholders. This would include requiring national monument designations to gain widespread local support from the communities they impact. Accordingly, SEMA supports legislation in the U.S. Congress to curtail the president’s power to unilaterally designate national monuments by requiring their approval by congress and the impacted state legislature(s).  

For more information on how you can support efforts in Congress to eliminate unilateral national monument designates, visit the SEMA Action Network (SAN) website. For additional details on the recent national monument designations, contact Eric Snyder at erics@sema.org.

Oregon Bills to Eliminate Ethanol/Create Mandatory Miles Traveled Tax Die as Legislature Adjourns
Thu, 07/16/2015 - 09:23

By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

Legislation to remove the requirement that all gasoline offered for sale in Oregon contain a percentage of ethanol died when the legislature adjourned for the year.

Legislation to remove the requirement that all gasoline offered for sale in Oregon contain a percentage of ethanol died when the legislature adjourned for the year. The bill did not receive committee consideration. Currently, the state requires that “a retail dealer, nonretail dealer or wholesale dealer may not sell or offer for sale gasoline unless the gasoline contains 10% ethanol by volume.”

The bill recognized that while the current ethanol mandate does not apply to fuel used in antique, all terrain and racing vehicles, there has been an inability to obtain unblended gasoline for engines that may be damaged by ethanol. Separate legislation to convert the state’s current voluntary vehicle miles traveled (VMT) tax program to a mandatory program also died. The bill did not receive committee consideration. The mandatory program would have applied to all high-mileage vehicles that have a rating of 55 mpg or better. These high-mileage vehicles would not have paid the gas tax that applies to all other vehicles.
