Bill > SB30

This bill modifies existing Hawaii state laws regarding moped operation, primarily focusing on age restrictions and safety requirements. The legislation raises the minimum age for operating a moped from fifteen to sixteen years old, ensuring that only individuals sixteen and older can legally drive a moped on highways, streets, roadways, or other public properties. Additionally, the bill mandates that all moped operators, regardless of age, must wear a safety helmet that is securely fastened with a chin strap and meets specific specifications established by state directors. For moped rentals, the bill requires rental companies to provide a safety helmet unless the operator brings their own, with an exception for individuals who possess a valid motorcycle license. These changes aim to enhance safety for moped riders by implementing stricter age and protective gear standards. The bill will take effect immediately upon approval.
