NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 41-6a-1505 says a person under the age of 18 may not operate or ride on a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle on a highway unless the person is wearing protective headgear which complies with specifications as defined in this section. Electric-assisted bicycles fall under this category as per Section 41-6a-102.

 

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received.

 

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule is needed so we can ensure those who ride electric assisted bicycles comply with the same requirements as for other similar type vehicles as defined in Section 41-6a-102. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
