AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 3336
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 3336, AS AMENDED,
with reference to page and line numbers of Senate Amendment
No. 2, on page 5, by replacing lines 13 through 21 with the
following:
"(625 ILCS 5/1-140.15)
Sec. 1-140.15. Low-speed gas bicycle. A 2-wheeled or
3-wheeled device with fully operable pedals and a gasoline
motor of less than one horsepower or 15 cubic centimeter
displacement that is operated at speeds up to 28 of less than
20 miles per hour. Any gas-powered bicycle that is not a
low-speed gas bicycle shall be considered a motor driven cycle
for purposes of this Code.
(Source: P.A. 103-706, eff. 1-1-25.)"; and
on page 55, by replacing lines 1 through 17 with the following:
"(a) A person may operate a low-speed gas bicycle only if

10400SB3336sam003 - 2 - LRB104 20522 LNS 36733 a
the person is at least 16 years of age. A low-speed gas bicycle
that is manufactured to accommodate passengers may not be
operated by a person under the age of 18 with a passenger
unless the passenger is a sibling, stepsibling, child, or
stepchild of the operator.
(a-5) A person may operate a low-speed gas bicycle upon
any highway, street, or roadway authorized for use by
bicycles, including, but not limited to, bicycle lanes.
(a-10) A person may operate a low-speed gas bicycle upon
any bicycle path unless the State agency with jurisdiction
prohibits the use of low-speed electric bicycles or a specific
class of low-speed gas bicycles on that bicycle path. The
Department of Natural Resources is authorized to adopt
administrative rules for the regulation of low-speed gas
bicycles on any and all properties owned, managed, or leased
by the Department of Natural Resources.
(b) A person may not operate a low-speed gas bicycle at a
speed greater than 28 20 miles per hour upon any highway,
street, or roadway.
(c) A person may not operate a low-speed gas bicycle on a
sidewalk.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the
provisions of this Article XV that apply to bicycles also
apply to low-speed gas bicycles.
(e) No unit of local government, including a home rule
unit, may regulate low-speed gas bicycles. This subsection (e)

10400SB3336sam003 - 3 - LRB104 20522 LNS 36733 a
is a denial and limitation of home rule powers and functions
under subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the
Illinois Constitution, and is an exercise of exclusive State
power which may not be exercised concurrently by a home rule
unit.".
