SCS/HB 1389 - This act creates a registration framework specific to autocycles, as defined in the act, and adds straddle-type seating and handlebar-based controls to the definition of motortricycle. The act specifies that autocycles registered as motorcycles or motortricycles prior to August 20, 2018, shall remain in effect until their expiration, after which time the vehicles must be registered as autocycles. The act removes the requirement for autocycles to be equipped with a roof in order for occupants to not be required to wear protective headgear. This act is similar to provisions in HCS#2/SS#2/SCS/SB 1050 (2018), CCS/HCS/SS/SB 881 (2018), and SCS/HCS/HBs 2277 & 1983 (2018). ERIC VANDER WEERD
