AI Summary
This bill allows local governments in Tennessee to prohibit the use of certain types of electric bicycles, specifically "class 1" and "class 2" electric bicycles, on bicycle paths or trails within public parks or greenways they own or operate. If a local government chooses to enact such a prohibition, they can send a copy of their resolution or ordinance to the Tennessee Department of Safety.

This measure aims to provide a mechanism for local control over electric bicycle access in public recreational areas.
