Bill Summary
For legislation relative to bicycle visibility on the road. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve bicycle safety on the roads. It amends existing laws in two ways: First, it changes the requirement for the type of rear light or reflector a bicycle must have, specifying that it must be a red light visible from at least 600 feet away, rather than a red reflector. Second, it allows the required rear light to be mounted on the bicycle operator's helmet, in addition to the bicycle itself. Additionally, the bill increases the fine for not having the required rear light or reflector from $20 to $50.
