Prohibits sellers of ebikes, escooters, limited use motorcycles from selling to persons less than sixteen years of age and establishes penalties therefor
What changed between versions
Replaced the specific term 'motor-driven cycles' with 'class A and class B limited use motorcycles' in the title and Section 3, changing which vehicles are subject to the new age and licensing rules.
Expanded the prohibition on selling electric scooters to minors to explicitly include 'leasing' transactions, whereas the previous version only addressed sales.
Expanded the prohibition on selling bicycles with electric assist to explicitly include 'leasing' transactions.
Replaced the entire text of Section 2 (which defined motor-driven cycles) and Section 4 (which added penalties) with new text that references the newly created Section 11-a and Section 1290, effectively updating the penalty structure to match the new vehicle definitions.
Added two new sponsors (Senators Scarcella-Spanton and Skoufis) and updated the legislative history to indicate the bill was discharged from committee, amended, and reprinted.
