What’s in it

Current law requires a bicycle to have a front lighted lamp and either a rear lighted lamp or a rear reflector at any time from sunset to sunrise, and at such other times when conditions such as fog, snow, sleet, or rain provide insufficient lighting to render clearly discernible persons and vehicles on the highway at a distance of 500 feet ahead. This bill requires every bicycle or bicycle rider to have a front and rear lighted lamp during the stated periods of time, and strikes the provision allowing a bicycle or bicycle rider to equip a rear reflector in lieu of the rear lighted lamp.
