Illinois HB4742 amends the definition of "electric personal assistive mobility device" to include certain self-balancing devices.
Illinois HB4742 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to redefine "electric personal assistive mobility device." It includes self-balancing, non-tandem wheeled devices lacking pedals, designed for one person, powered by batteries or electric propulsion systems, with a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour or less. Excludes low-speed electric bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, and motor vehicles from this definition. This change aims to clarify the classification of emerging micromobility devices.
