AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate shared micro-mobility single-rider electric scooter device companies. It amends the definition of "motorized scooter" in the state's laws to include micro-mobility devices, which are defined as single-rider electric scooters with a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour. The bill also expands the definitions of "transportation network company," "transportation network driver," "transportation network rider," and "transportation network services" to include activities related to micro-mobility devices. Additionally, the bill grants municipalities and other local entities the authority to regulate the distribution, retrieval, and consumer rental of micro-mobility devices, including the ability to impose permits, licenses, fees, or penalties, and require anonymized data related to such activities.
