Bill Summary

Relative to the definition of autocyles. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to define and regulate the use of "autocycles" in Massachusetts. It amends the state's motor vehicle laws to include a new definition of "autocycle" as a three-wheeled motor vehicle with a steering wheel and seating that does not require the operator or passenger to straddle it. It requires autocycles to be registered and issued special "Autocycle" license plates, and sets safety requirements such as the use of helmets and seatbelts. The bill also specifies that autocycles can only be operated by individuals with a valid driver's license, not a motorcycle-only license, and imposes fines for non-compliance with the new regulations.
