Under existing law, the Department of the California Highway Patrol is responsible for enforcement of all laws regulating the operation of vehicles and use of the highways, as specified. Existing law requires the department to develop, on or before September 1, 2023, statewide safety and training programs based on evidence-based practices for users of electric bicycles, as defined, including, but not limited to, general electric bicycle riding safety, emergency maneuver skills, rules of the road, and laws pertaining to electric bicycles.

Existing law establishes the Department of Justice under the direction and control of the Attorney General. Existing law requires each state and local agency that employs peace officers to annually report to the Attorney General data on all stops conducted by that agencys peace officers for the preceding calendar year, in accordance with a specified procedure.

This bill would require, on or before June 1, 2027, the department, office of the Attorney General, in partnership with biking nonprofit groups, to compile a list of electric two-wheeled devices that do not comply with the definition of any single class of electric bicycles and that are labeled, advertised, or commonly perceived by riders or peace officers as electric bicycles or electric bicycle products.
