Bikers want harsher driving penalties and scientists speak out about a proposed Evolution Bill.

As the House and Senate chambers sat empty, the halls and the courtyard filled up.

As motorcycles filled the courtyard, bikers flocked inside talking about harsher penalties for drivers who injure or kill motorcyclists. James Reichenbach, said "We've had 5 people killed - 83 dollar fine for an illegal left turn even though the person died."

The bill Doc's supporting would sentence drivers to 30 days of jail time if they injure a biker and a year in jail if a biker is killed.

Bikers also got a thank you from the people with disabilities. The Bikers Care specialty tag for motorcycles was created five years ago. To date, it has raised more than a million dollars for the disabled. Susan Homant, of Able Trust, said, "The funds have improved the lives of tens of thousands of Florida's citizens."

Outside, scientists rallied against a bill claiming to give teachers academic freedom.

Vic Walczak spoke at the rally saying, "What this bill does is give every teacher the right to teach anything they want."

Opponents of the bill say teachers will start brining religion into the classroom. 

Mr. Walczak continued to say, "When the teacher is teaching this religious content you're going to have teachers and students that sue the school for violating the first amendment."

Scientists say it also misinforms students.  

Harold Creatau, also spoke at the rally saying, "Scientists have evidence without certainty. Intelligent design is certainty without evidence.  

Bill supporters say the bill is all about protecting teachers and students with different views and say it has nothing to do with religion.

"I think this is going to go a long way in allowing flaws in whatever theory is being presented with out fear of retribution of someone above them, said Senator Daniel Webster.

And history being made in the house where the first ever committee on autism met to talk about how to make sure Floridians with autism get support.

Right now many insurance companies can duck out on paying for autism services because of the way the disorder classified. This committee hopes to change that.

Tomorrow marks the start of joint audit committee meetings where the House and Senate will discuss the budget.
