Workgroup to Study State Laws on Electric Bicycles - Establishment

SB 743 establishes a temporary workgroup to study Maryland's current laws governing electric bicycles. The workgroup, including transportation officials, law enforcement representatives (rural, suburban, urban), county and municipal leaders, will review existing road rules, safety data from studies, and consider other micro-mobility devices like e-scooters. Its goal is to make recommendations to improve public safety for electric bike riders, pedestrians, and drivers by 2028. The bill expires automatically after the workgroup submits its report on January 1, 2028, with no new laws enacted by this bill itself.
