Local units of government authorized to adopt a speed limit ordinance for electric-assisted bicycles in certain areas.

HF 2859 allows Minnesota cities and counties to set speed limits for electric-assisted bicycles (e-bikes) in business districts. Local governments can adopt ordinances with proper signage, and police officers may issue citations for violations. The bill specifies that violations won't appear on driving records and limits citations to specific speed-related offenses. It requires local resolutions authorizing citations and ensures riders can challenge them before a neutral third party. This directly affects local governments, e-bike riders in business districts, and municipal law enforcement.
