Summary

The bill creates a pilot program in Orange County that would require electric bicycles to display a special rear license plate. It also gives cities and counties the authority to adopt ordinances that regulate e‑bike registration, speed limits, age limits, helmet and equipment standards, and to enforce those rules. Violations would be treated as infractions with fines and a required safety‑training course.
