What AB 544 does, verified December 13, 2025

This bill amends sections of the vehicle code to require electric bicycles to have a red reflector or solid/flashing red light with a built-in reflector on the rear. The requirement applies to all hours, not just nighttime operation. The bill also prohibits the transmission of records of violations to the court and the imposition of fees if a minor wears a helmet that meets safety standards and completes a specialized electric bicycle safety course. Additionally, the bill states that reimbursement is not required for this act.
