Summary of HD 2094: An Act relative to the safe storage of nationally recognized testing laboratory electric mobility devices

Main Purpose and Intent

This proposed bill aims to establish safety standards and requirements for the storage of electric mobility devices, such as electric bicycles and scooters, that are certified by nationally recognized testing laboratories. The goal is to ensure these devices are properly maintained and secured to prevent accidents, fires, or other safety hazards.

Key Provisions

  • Requires all electric mobility devices certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory to be stored in a manner that meets specific safety standards developed by the state's Department of Public Safety.
  • Directs the Department of Public Safety to establish these storage standards within 6 months of the bill's enactment, covering factors like device charging, ventilation, fire suppression, and physical security.
  • Mandates that all commercial and public facilities that store or charge electric mobility devices must comply with the new storage standards.
  • Imposes civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation for facilities that fail to meet the storage requirements.
  • Provides a 1-year grace period after the standards are established for existing facilities to come into compliance.

Affected Parties

  • Manufacturers, retailers, and rental companies that store and charge electric bicycles, scooters, and other certified electric mobility devices
  • Commercial and public buildings like apartment complexes, offices, schools, and transit hubs that provide storage or charging for these devices
  • Consumers and the general public who use electric mobility options

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • This bill was introduced in the state legislature on November 29, 2025 and is currently under consideration.
  • If enacted, the Department of Public Safety would have 6 months to develop the new storage standards.
  • Affected facilities would then have 1 year to implement the required safety measures and come into compliance.
  • Enforcement of the storage requirements and civil penalties would begin 18 months after the bill's passage.
