AI Summary

Violators of this requirement will be fined a maximum of $25 for a first offense and a maximum of $100 for any subsequent offense. The bill cites an increase in injuries to users of electric bicycles and scooters, with the absence of mandatory helmet use contributing to the severity of injuries resulting from crashes, as the rationale for this new requirement.
