Not at present. Oregon politics requires you to pick your battles and keep silent about any further long range goals. I imagine other states operate in similar fashion. This legislative session the drive is for a 3 foot passing law, clarifying the brake law to make sure fixies are legal, legalizing Idaho-style stops, and doing something about how sober motorists who kill cyclists face a more serious consequence than a mere $242 fine when they are at fault.
Usually about 6 months before a legislative session begins is when they start deciding what to push through. In case you wondered, "they" usually consist of advocacy organizations, local government, interested private citizens, and sometimes even interested business concerns.
