What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person may not ride a play vehicle on a roadway except while crossing at a crosswalk. "Play vehicle" is defined as "a coaster, skate board, roller skates, sled, toboggan, unicycle or toy vehicle upon which a person may ride."
Under this bill, skateboards are removed from the definition of "play vehicle" and are therefore not subject to the regulations that apply to play vehicles.

Also under current law, a person may not ride in-line skates on a roadway under the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation, but may ride in-line skates on other roadways subject to any restrictions imposed by the local authority having jurisdiction over the roadway. Under this bill, skateboards are subject to the same roadway use regulations as in-line skates.
