Bill > B26-0009

This bill amends several District of Columbia laws to improve accountability and regulation of motorcycles and motor-driven cycles by expanding registration and consumer protection requirements. Specifically, the bill broadens the definition of "motor vehicle" to explicitly include motorcycles and motor-driven cycles, and requires vehicle dealers to provide written notice to consumers about a vehicle's classification and registration requirements before sale. The legislation also prohibits rental operators from renting motorcycles or motor-driven cycles with false identifying information or without proper registration, and mandates that rental companies register all motorcycles and motor-driven cycles in their rental fleets. These changes aim to ensure greater transparency for consumers, improve vehicle tracking, and prevent potential misrepresentation or illegal operation of two-wheeled motor vehicles in the District of Columbia. The bill defines motorcycles and motor-driven cycles according to existing DC Municipal Regulations and will take effect after mayoral approval, congressional review, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
