What changed between versions

S9360 S9360A · 5 edits
MODERATE
The bill was amended to add two new sponsors and update the legislative history to reflect committee discharge and amendment. The core policy text was significantly rewritten to replace specific references to 'motor-driven cycles' with broader categories including 'class A and class B limited use motorcycles.' Additionally, the age restriction rules for electric scooters were updated to explicitly include 'leasing' transactions alongside sales.
Scope change
The bill's scope was broadened by replacing the term 'motor-driven cycles' with 'class A and class B limited use motorcycles,' thereby altering the specific vehicles covered by the new age restrictions and licensing requirements. The applicability of the age and license rules was also expanded to cover both the sale and lease of electric scooters.
ELIGIBILITY

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.

REQUIREMENT

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.

ENFORCEMENT

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.

TECHNICAL

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.
