The bill requires the Department of Safety in Tennessee to provide a report to specific legislative committees. This report will detail how many people took part in the motorcycle rider education program and what expenses were covered by the motorcycle rider safety fund over the past three years.

Supporters of the bill argue that it promotes transparency and accountability in the use of funds allocated for motorcycle safety. By requiring a report on the rider education program, it ensures that resources are being effectively utilized to improve rider safety in Tennessee.

Critics may contend that the bill adds unnecessary administrative burdens on the Department of Safety without addressing more pressing concerns about motorcycle safety. They might argue that the focus should be on enhancing safety measures rather than merely reporting on past expenditures.

The analysis of HB2370, which pertains to reporting requirements for the motorcycle rider education program in Tennessee, reveals a low risk of conflict of interest for the bill's sponsor, Clay Doggett. The sponsor's personal financial interests include ownership of a private investigation firm and a pressure washing business, neither of which have any direct or indirect connection to the transportation or motorcycle education sectors. Additionally, his investments in financial instruments like TCRS, Robinhood, New York Life, John Hancock, and Edward Jones do not suggest any specific alignment with the bill's focus on motorcycle rider education or the associated safety fund. Therefore, there is no evidence to suggest that the sponsor would gain financially from the passage of this bill.

Unlike federal analysis based on campaign donations, state analysis examines legislators' personal financial interests — their jobs, businesses, and investments.
