Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to penalties for failure of an operator to return shared electric scooters and bicycles to a proper location
AI Summary
This bill requires companies that operate shared electric bicycle and scooter systems to implement penalties for users who fail to return these devices to designated locations. Specifically, any shared electric bicycle (defined in Article 34 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law) or shared electric scooter (defined in Article 34-D of the Vehicle and Traffic Law) operating in the state must impose daily monetary penalties on any borrower who does not return the device to a proper location as specified by the system. This means that if you rent an electric scooter or bike and don't park it where you're supposed to, you'll be charged a fee each day until it's returned correctly.
