AI Summary
This bill amends the Electric Vehicle Rebate Act to create a new rebate program for electric bicycles in Illinois, starting July 1, 2026. The bill defines an "electric bicycle" as a low-speed bicycle with an electrical system tested to specific safety standards, excluding electric mopeds. Under this program, residents can apply for a rebate of $400 for standard purchasers and $1,200 for low-income purchasers, with the rebate never exceeding the bicycle's purchase price. To be eligible, applicants must be Illinois residents who purchase the bicycle in-state after July 1, 2024, from an in-state seller, and apply for the rebate within 90 days of purchase. Applicants must provide proof of residency and ownership, and must own the bicycle at the time of rebate issuance. The bill also requires recipients to notify the agency of any changes in residency or ownership between applying for and receiving the rebate. Additionally, a person may only receive one rebate per electric bicycle and can only apply for a rebate once every 10 years, ensuring fair distribution of the program's funds.
