SB 1865 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the regulation and operation of electric bicycles.

This bill amends Texas' Business & Commerce Code to expand the definition of "false, misleading, or deceptive acts" by adding 18 specific examples, such as misrepresenting product origins, falsely advertising price reductions, or misrepresenting repair needs. It does not directly regulate electric bicycles (despite the title), as the provisions apply broadly to all business practices involving goods or services. The bill affects businesses selling products or services by clarifying prohibited deceptive behaviors, including false claims about sponsorship, quality, or pricing. The summary is based solely on the amended code section text provided, with no connection to e-bike regulation found in the bill's content.
