INDIANAPOLIS | After four years of trying, state Sen. Ed Charbonneau, R-Valparaiso, won committee approval Friday for legislation allowing the sale of motorcycles on Sundays.

The Senate Commerce and Economic Development Committee voted 7-0 to forward Senate Bill 192 to the full Senate.

"The 7-0 vote makes me think we can get it through this time," Charbonneau said.

The legislation distinguishes motorcycle sales from motor vehicle sales which would remain prohibited on Sundays.

Charbonneau said many motorcycle dealerships are already open Sundays, selling merchandise or servicing motorcycles, and they should be able to sell motorcycles too.
