The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to motorcycle safety funding and registration requirements. It introduces new provisions that specify the allocation of funds from the motorcycle safety fund, allowing up to seventy-five percent to support voluntary motorcycle education and awareness programs, while also designating up to twenty-five percent for scholarships aimed at individuals from rural or low-income areas to enhance access to motorcycle training programs.
Additionally, the bill establishes a new requirement for motorcycle registration, stipulating that a motorcycle can only be registered if at least one owner possesses a class M driver license. However, it allows for a thirty-day temporary registration if the individual provides valid proof of enrollment in an approved motorcycle training program. This update aims to improve motorcycle safety and accessibility to training resources.
