A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5620 AS INTRODUCED 4-13-00


House Bill 5620 would repeal a provision of the Michigan Vehicle Code which prohibits a person from operating a bicycle unless it is equipped with a bell or other device capable of giving a signal audible for a distance of at least 100 feet. However, the law provides that a bicycle cannot be equipped with, nor may a person use upon it, a siren or a whistle. These prohibitions also would be repealed under the bill.
