Key provisions (as indicated by the bill’s title)

  • Repeal of existing electric-assisted bicycle rebates and any statutory authorization for new rebates.
  • Termination of related administrative processes (e.g., eligibility determinations, application procedures, and funding disbursement) associated with the rebate program.
  • Any sunset or transition provisions, funding reallocation, or savings estimates would be defined in the full text of SF 2464.

Note: Specific provisions, definitions, and operational details are not provided in the current materials.

Who would be affected

  • Bicycle retailers and distributors that process or promote e-bike purchases.
