What it does
HR.3385 directs the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations within 120 days of enactment to update the federal definition of "motorcycle" in 49 CFR § 571.3 to match the definition provided in the bill. The bill defines a motorcycle as a motor vehicle originally manufactured with motive power, a seat or saddle requiring the rider to sit astride, designed for no more than three wheels in contact with the ground, handlebar steering, handlebar and foot controls for acceleration and braking, and capable of exceeding 30 mph. This change would affect manufacturers, regulators, and riders by standardizing the federal classification of motorcycles for safety and regulatory purposes.
