S.B. 3021 Summary

• Renames the "Electric Bicycle and Electric Moped Rebate Program" to the "Electric Mobility Rebate Program" and expands eligible devices to include adaptive electric bicycles, electric cargo bikes, and electric micro-mobility devices.

• Lowers the minimum age requirement for individual rebate eligibility from 18 years to 15 years old and adds eligibility for non-profit organizations registered in Hawaii.

• Updates definitions of "electric bicycle" to align with federal standards by establishing three classes (Class 1, 2, and 3) based on motor power and speed assistance cutoff points, and adds new definitions for "adaptive electric bicycle" and "electric micro-mobility device."

• Establishes an additional assistance rebate for low-income individuals (those eligible for SNAP, free/reduced lunch, Section 8 housing, or similar programs) and removes the requirement for retailer signatures, instead requiring government-issued photo identification at point of sale.

• Effective date July 1, 3000 (appears to be a drafting error, as the date is implausible).
