	48	+	handlebars directly connected to the front tire or tires to steer. In
	49	+	removing autocycle from the definition of motorcycle, the bill makes the
	50	+	following clarifications and changes:
	51	+	! Section 2 clarifies that the driver of an autocycle need not
	52	+	have a motorcycle endorsement regardless of the
	53	+	autocycle's maximum speed and that all 3-wheel
	54	+	motorcycle drivers need a general or limited motorcycle
	55	+	endorsement;
	56	+	! Current law requires all motorcycle drivers to wear eye
	57	+	protection unless the motorcycle has 3 wheels, has a
	58	+	maximum speed of no more than 25 miles per hour, has a
	59	+	windshield, and has seatbelts. Section 3 clarifies that this
	60	+	exception applies to drivers of autocycles, not motorcycles,
	61	+	fitting that description.
	62	+	! Current law requires a motorcycle driver who is under 18
	63	+	years of age to wear a helmet unless the motorcycle has 3
	64	+	wheels, has a maximum speed of no more than 25 miles per
	65	+	hour, has a windshield, and has seatbelts. Section 4
	66	+	clarifies that this exception applies to autocycles, not
	67	+	motorcycles, fitting that description.
	68	+	! Current law imposes a fee of $4 to register motorcycles for
	69	+	motorcycle operator safety training. Redefining autocycles
	70	+	as not being motorcycles means that autocycle owners will
	71	+	not pay the fee.
	72	+	! Section 5 removes the authorization for 2 autocycles to
	73	+	drive abreast in one lane.
	74	+	Sections 6 through 31 make conforming amendments.
	75	+	Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:1
