Mary Price: Hello Senators. My name is Mary Price. I'm here today to talk about the fact that on one September afternoon in 1985, my son was involved in a motorcycle crash. He was not wearing a helmet and he died after three days in the hospital.

One week after my son's funeral I got lost in Sacramento and I was the first person on the scene of a motorcyle crash. I parked and ran over to the young man and looked down at him, and he was laying there and said his legs hurt. The only difference between him and my son was the fact that he had a helmet on and was talking. My son was not talking. He never spoke after his accident.

Please don't allow a few citizens to control the laws of the State of California. Or should we entertain repealing seatbelt laws and let those who drive decide?

Please vote no against the repeal of a good law. Thank you.

Senator Kelley: Thank you. Next witness.
