Presume the Delаwаre legislаture has drafted the fоllоwing statute regarding the use оf bicycles on state-owned trails: Section 1. Bicycle Use on State Trails Men and women shall only ride bicycles on state trails during appropriate weather conditions and shall stay away from pedestrians, animals and maintenance equipment, and they shall make sure their bicycles have bells and reflective devices visible at all times. Section 2. Penalties. People who violate this statute may be fined up to $300 by DelDOT per occurrence and/or may be prohibited from using any state trail for sixty (60) days. Based on principles outlined in the selected provisions of the Delaware drafting manual that we read for class or based on drafting rules we covered in lecture, or both, please address the following questions (please make sure you answer both subparts and preferably in separately labeled paragraphs): (1) Identify 4 issues with how this statute is drafted (i.e., you must cite to the specific Delaware drafting rules that were violated and provide a reference to the drafting manual rule or to the class lecture recording*), and then briefly explain the correct rules related to each of those issues. If citing to a rule covered in the class lecture recording, it is okay to just name the rule and indicate it was discussed in the class lecture, BUT please do explicitly state the rule you are using and that it was covered in the class lecture recording. If using a rule in the drafting manual that was not covered in class lecture, please cite to the specific rule. (4 points) (2) Revise those four issues* in the statute (i.e., submit a revised statute correcting those 4 issues in conformance with the drafting rules). (2 points) *Note: This is a very poorly drafted statute; therefore, there are more than 4 issues in this statute. However, you are only being asked to identify, explain, and correct 4 different issues.
