    5  insert:
    6         Section 5. Subsection (1) of section 316.20655, Florida

   10         (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, an

   12  afforded all the rights and privileges, and be subject to all of
   13  the duties, of a bicycle or the operator of a bicycle, including
   14  s. 316.2065. An electric bicycle is a vehicle to the same extent
   15  as a bicycle. However, this section may not be construed to

   17  under s. 316.008, from adopting an ordinance governing the
   18  operation of electric bicycles on streets, highways, sidewalks,
   19  and sidewalk areas under or within the local government’s
   20  jurisdiction; to prevent a municipality, county, or agency of
   21  the state having jurisdiction over a bicycle path, multiuse
   22  path, or trail network from restricting or prohibiting the
   23  operation of an electric bicycle on a bicycle path, multiuse
   24  path, or trail network; or to prevent a municipality, county, or
   25  agency of the state having jurisdiction over a beach as defined
   26  in s. 161.54(3) or a dune as defined in s. 161.54(4) from
   27  restricting or prohibiting the operation of an electric bicycle
   28  on such beach or dune.
   29         (8) A local government may adopt an ordinance providing one
   30  or more minimum age requirements to operate an electric bicycle
   31  and may adopt an ordinance requiring an operator of an electric
   32  bicycle to possess a government-issued photographic
   33  identification while operating the electric bicycle.
   34         (9) A local government may provide training on the safe
   35  operation of electric bicycles and compliance with the traffic
   36  laws of this state that apply to electric bicycles.
   37         Section 6. Subsections (7) and (8) are added to section
   38  316.2128, Florida Statutes, to read:
   39         316.2128 Micromobility devices, motorized scooters, and
   40  miniature motorcycles; requirements.—
   41         (7) A local government may adopt an ordinance providing one
   42  or more minimum age requirements to operate a motorized scooter
   43  or micromobility device and may adopt an ordinance requiring a
   44  person who operates a motorized scooter or micromobility device
   45  to possess a government-issued photographic identification while
   46  operating the motorized scooter or micromobility device.
   47         (8) A local government may provide training on the safe
   48  operation of motorized scooters and micromobility devices and
   49  compliance with the traffic laws of this state that apply to
   50  motorized scooters and micromobility devices.

   58         relating to the safe operation of electric bicycles;
   59         amending s. 316.2128, F.S.; authorizing a local
   60         government to adopt certain ordinances and provide
   61         certain training relating to the safe operation of
   62         motorized scooters and micromobility devices; amending
