Bill > H3040

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to define and regulate the use of electric kick scooters. It adds a definition of "electric kick scooter" to the state's vehicle laws, allows the operation of these scooters on public ways except for limited access or express state highways, sets a maximum speed limit of 20 miles per hour, requires operators under 16 to wear helmets, and allows municipalities to permit their use on shared-use or bike paths. The bill also authorizes the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to promulgate additional regulations for the operation of electric kick scooters and requires scooter companies to provide anonymized fleet and ride data to local authorities.
