First off, I wasn't sure where to put this, so if it's in the wrong area please don't blast me for it.
NOW, on to the question......
If a state doesn't have a specific law yet, but there's already a federal law on the books that covers it, does the federal law automatically take effect in that state?
The state I live in hasn't passed a law yet (after more than 3 years of it going through the state gov. !) on electric bicycles.
There's a FEDERAL LAW though -
www govtrack us/congress/bill xpd?bill=h107-727
H.R. 727: 107th Congress
To amend the Consumer Product Safety Act to provide that low-speed electric bicycles are consumer products subject to such Act.
This bill was created in the 107th Congress, in 2001-2002.
.
Last Action: Dec 4, 2002: Became Public Law No: 107-319.
This bill became law. It was signed by George Bush.
