Relating to the operation of motor-assisted scooters.
HB 3391 requires people operating motor-assisted scooters on streets, highways, sidewalks, or bike paths to attach a flag to the back of their scooter, as specified by rules created by the Texas Department of Public Safety. This directly affects scooter riders, who must comply with the flag requirement starting February 1, 2026. The Department of Public Safety must adopt these rules by December 1, 2025, and the bill itself takes effect September 1, 2025. The law does not specify flag details but mandates their use to increase visibility for scooter operators.
