HB241 Enrolled is a bill that amends the Code of Alabama 1975 by introducing new definitions and renumbering existing ones within the context of highway and traffic regulations. The bill notably adds a definition for "First Responder," which includes law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, or emergency medical technicians. This new definition is inserted into the law, and subsequent definitions, such as "Flammable Liquid," are renumbered accordingly. No deletions from the current law are indicated, but the renumbering reflects the addition of the new term. The bill also includes definitions for various other vehicle-related terms, establishing a legal framework for traffic regulation and emergency response protocols.

Additionally, the bill defines new terms such as "scooter" and "shared micromobility device," with the former being a lightweight device with handlebars and an electric motor, and the latter including a range of transportation devices for short-term rentals, excluding those used by individuals with disabilities. The definition of "suspension of driver's license" is also amended to clarify it as a temporary withdrawal of driving privileges. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2024, after being passed by the Senate on May 8, 2024.
