02:53 PM



Representative Tyler requested Dave Hall, Colorado State Patrol, to come to the table to discuss a bill related to safety regulations for three-wheeled vehicles. Sgt. Hall discussed prior legislation related to autocycles, how autocycle design has changed, and child safety concerns related to a lack of hard-top enclosure in these new designs. He stated that the bill would be a temporary fix until federal regulations are put in place. Sgt. Hall discussed two places in statutes that could be amended to create this fix, and reminded the committee that it will have to have a future discussion about vehicles that do not fit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Representative Tyler recommended that a sunset date or a repeal date when the NHTSA standard was set be included in the bill.
