From State Senator Darby Hills:
On ABC 7 Eyewitness News: Senator Hills Highlights Need for Statewide E-Bike Safety Standards
I joined ABC 7 Eyewitness News with Tanja Babich to discuss SB 3484, legislation I co-sponsored to bring common-sense safety standards to e-bikes and other micromobility devices across Illinois.

As a mom, legislator, and community member, I’ve heard from parents, local officials, and law enforcement about the challenges created by rapidly evolving technology and a lack of clear rules.
E-bikes and scooters can be a great way for families to get outside and stay active, but our laws need to keep pace with how these devices are being used. SB 3484 creates a consistent statewide framework, provides clearer expectations for riders, and gives law enforcement the tools they need to address unsafe operation.
This bipartisan legislation passed both chambers of the General Assembly and is now awaiting action from Governor Pritzker. I hope he signs it so Illinois families, riders, and communities have the clarity and safety standards they deserve.
