Summary#

SJR-24 is a Colorado Senate joint resolution; it does not create or amend an Act. It would designate May 2026 as “Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.” Its stated goal is to promote motorcycle safety through education and training and encourage motorists to share the road.

• The resolution recognizes and designates the month; it does not require anyone to provide training, attend training, or run an awareness campaign.
• It names no government office or other organization to lead the effort. It directs that copies of the resolution be sent to ABATE of Colorado.
• The supplied status says the Senate passed it. The text calls for House concurrence, but the supplied materials do not establish whether that happened.

What it means for you#

Case for#

• It emphasizes both rider education and the responsibility of other motorists to share the road.
• The resolution cites motorcycle deaths in Colorado and hazards riders face as reasons to promote awareness.
