This bill updates Michigan's vehicle code to clarify definitions for mopeds and establish new licensing requirements for certain electric mobility devices. It specifically requires individuals under 18 to obtain a special restricted license to operate high-powered micromobility devices, such as electric scooters exceeding 500 watts or 20 miles per hour, without mandating a road test. The legislation also adjusts the legal definition of a moped to exclude electric bicycles and clarifies that power-driven mobility devices used by people with disabilities are not considered motor vehicles. Additionally, the bill sets specific fees for these new restricted licenses and outlines penalties for operating these devices without the proper authorization.
