Bill > LD256

This bill adds electric bicycles to the existing Electric Vehicle Rebate Program in Maine. The bill defines "electric bicycle" as per the state's vehicle code and extends the rebate program to cover the purchase of electric bicycles, with a focus on providing rebates to low-income and moderate-income individuals as well as organizations that serve these individuals. The rebates for electric bicycles are intended to advance the state's carbon reduction targets and reduce transportation-related energy costs. The bill also makes some minor changes to the existing eligibility requirements for the Electric Vehicle Rebate Program, such as clarifying the weight and price limitations for eligible vehicles.
