Bill > HF2066

This bill repeals Minnesota's electric-assisted bicycle tax rebate program and makes several financial adjustments. Specifically, the bill cancels $2 million from a previously authorized appropriation for the electric bicycle rebate program, effective June 30, 2025. It also requires the commissioner of transportation to transfer $2 million from the general fund to the highway user tax distribution fund in fiscal year 2026. The bill completely eliminates Minnesota Statutes section 289A.51, which had established a tax rebate program for electric-assisted bicycles. The original program, which was set to run through June 30, 2026, would have provided eligible individuals with a rebate of up to $1,500 (75% sliding scale based on income) for purchasing new electric bicycles. By repealing this statute, the state effectively ends the electric bicycle rebate initiative before its originally planned sunset date, redirecting the allocated funds to the highway user tax distribution fund.
