This bill proposes updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the operation of bicycles and electric mobility devices on bicycle or multiuse paths. It introduces new speed limits for bicycles, stating that riders may not exceed fifteen miles per hour when the path is clear and five miles per hour when passing another person. Additionally, local authorities are granted the power to impose lower speed limits if deemed necessary.

Furthermore, the bill expands the regulations to include electric bicycles and various electric mobility devices, such as electric standup scooters and motorized skateboards, imposing the same speed restrictions as those for traditional bicycles. The existing requirement for manufacturers and distributors of electric bicycles to label their products remains unchanged, but the bill does not specify any new labeling requirements. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance safety and regulation of both bicycles and electric mobility devices on shared paths.
