AN ACT CONCERNING THE CONNECTICUT HYDROGEN AND ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE PURCHASE REBATE PROGRAM AND ELECTRIC BICYCLES.

HB 5673 removes a $3,000 price limit for adaptive electric bicycles (including mobility devices other than wheelchairs) purchased with a physician's prescription under Connecticut's Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate Program. It directly affects individuals who require mobility assistance and buy these specially adapted bikes through a doctor's recommendation. The key change eliminates the previous price cap, allowing eligible buyers to qualify for rebates on higher-cost adaptive e-bikes. This adjustment applies only to devices prescribed for medical mobility needs, not standard electric bicycles. The bill does not alter the program's overall structure or funding.
