HB 1772 and SB 5751, concerning motorized foot scooters, both advanced after being amended in the House and Senate Transportation Committees.
The versions that moved are identical and establish a regulatory framework for motorized foot scooters. The amended versions of the bills remove restrictions on local governments’ ability to regulate the operation of scooters within their jurisdictions and identify serval possible areas for potential regulation.
These versions are working drafts. The bill’s stakeholders, including AWC, will meet again this week to continue perfecting the bill language.
