The change to rule number 9 of the Safety Code may be revisited by the AMA Executive Council at the next meeting the first weekend in February. An item to consider removal of new wording has been placed on the agenda. The Safety Committee has also scheduled discussion of the item.
If you have constructive input on the rule, it might be prudent to contact your District VP. The contact info is on the AMA web site.
