Create an adaptive mobility dealer license
HB 195 creates a new adaptive mobility dealer license to regulate businesses that sell electric personal assistive mobility devices and low-speed micromobility devices. The bill amends existing vehicle definitions to explicitly exclude these specific devices from the standard "vehicle" and "motor vehicle" categories used in state law. By establishing a distinct classification, the legislation allows dealers to operate under a separate license tailored to the unique needs of adaptive mobility equipment rather than general vehicle sales regulations. This change directly affects businesses selling mobility aids and ensures these items are handled through a specialized licensing framework.
