Bill > HF1404

This bill repeals the electric-assisted bicycle rebate program previously established in Minnesota Statutes. The original program, which was set to run from 2024 to 2026, would have provided financial incentives for eligible individuals to purchase electric-assisted bicycles. The rebate would have allowed individuals to receive up to 75% of the bicycle's cost (reducing based on income) with a maximum rebate of $1,500. Eligible individuals would have needed to be at least 15 years old, a Minnesota resident taxpayer, and not claimed as a dependent. The program had a total budget of $4 million, with rebate certificates to be issued on a first-come, first-served basis, and prioritizing lower-income applicants. By repealing this statute, the bill effectively eliminates the electric-assisted bicycle rebate program before it could be implemented, removing the potential tax incentive for purchasing electric bicycles in Minnesota. The bill specifies that the repeal will take effect the day following final enactment.
