<br />/A -c! <br />Legislative Bill Action <br /> <br />............................... <br />amendments. Interested cities should send <br />support letters to their senators. Staff: Yvonne <br />Hunter; Status: Pending in Senate Local Govern- <br />ment; Position: Support. <br /> <br />TRANSPORTATION <br /> <br />SB 1102 (Hollingsworth). Pocket bikes: <br />restrictions. SB 1102 would prohibit the use of a <br />pocket bike on a sidewalk, roadway, highway, <br />bikeway, bicycle path or trail, equestrian trail, <br />hiking or recreation trail, or on public lands avail- <br />able to off-highway motor vehicle use. SB 1102 <br />authorizes a peace officer to remove and seize a <br />pocket bike that is found to be operating in viola- <br />tion of this bill for a minimum of 48 hours. <br /> <br />Pocket bikes are small, two-wheeled vehicles <br />that may only be operated on private property with <br />the owner's consent. They are a growing safety <br />concern because they can exceed 35 miles per <br />hour and due to their small size, are often difficult <br />to see. SB 1102 improves public safety on local <br />streets and roads by limiting the use of pocket <br />bikes. SB 1102 also grants authority at the city <br />and county level to adopt a regulation ensuring <br />that all costs, seizure, removal and storage fees <br />be placed upon the violator.
