In response to the tragic death of local cyclist Eric Kautzky, State Representative Jerry Krummel (seen at right) plans to push for “Eric’ Law” in the 2007 legislative session. According to Krummel:
“I plan to push legislation at the state level to encourage other counties to offer these memorial signs. We are also looking at ways to increase penalties targeted at “sleepy” drivers. Once we get the bill introduced it will be called “Eric’s Law.””

On Sunday Krummel attended a ceremony and sign installation on Tualitin-Sherwood Highway that commemorates the location where Kautzky was killed.
KATU-TV filed this report on the ceremony.
