Electric Mobility Device Amendments
Summary
Utah HB0381, the Electric Mobility Device Amendments, was signed into law by Governor on March 24, 2026. The bill establishes a comprehensive framework for the regulation of electric mobility devices within the state. Key stakeholders affected include retailers, manufacturers, and consumers of electric mobility devices such as e-scooters and powered wheelchairs.
What changed
HB0381 establishes new regulatory requirements for electric mobility devices in Utah. The bill defines what constitutes an electric mobility device, establishes operational standards, and sets parameters for where these devices may be operated on public roads and pathways. The legislation underwent multiple amendments during committee review before final passage.
Retailers selling electric mobility devices should review inventory for compliance with any new labeling or safety standards specified in the bill. Manufacturers may need to adjust product specifications to meet Utah's requirements. Consumers should be aware of new rules governing operation, including any licensing, registration, or equipment requirements. Compliance typically becomes effective 90 days after session adjournment unless otherwise specified in the bill text.
What to do next
- Review HB0381 full text to identify specific regulatory requirements for electric mobility devices
- Assess whether existing inventory or products meet new Utah standards
- Update consumer information and sales practices to reflect new operational rules
