Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 4 mixed.

Stronger state enforcement on unsafe sales

Violations of the Micromobility Fire Safety Act are unlawful practices under the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. The Attorney General can seek penalties, stop sales, and enforce the law statewide. This enforcement power begins January 1, 2026.

Ban on reused lithium-ion battery cells

Beginning January 1, 2026, it is illegal in Illinois to assemble or recondition a traction battery using cells taken from used lithium-ion batteries. It is also illegal to sell or offer a traction battery that uses these reused cells. Recycling of batteries or parts is still allowed. This reduces fire risk from unsafe rebuilt packs.

E-bikes and batteries must be tested

Beginning January 1, 2026, businesses in Illinois may not make, sell, lease, or rent low-speed electric bicycles or their traction batteries unless they pass safety tests at an accredited lab. The bike’s electrical drive system must meet ANSI/CAN/UL 2849 or EN 15194 before January 1, 2028, and ANSI/CAN/UL 2849 on or after that date. The bike’s traction battery must meet ANSI/CAN/UL 2271, ANSI/CAN/UL 2849, or EN 15194 before January 1, 2028, and ANSI/CAN/UL 2271 or ANSI/CAN/UL 2849 on or after that date. These rules reduce fire risk for riders and neighbors.

Tests required for personal e-mobility devices and batteries

Beginning January 1, 2026, you may not make, sell, lease, rent, or run a business with a personal e-mobility device in Illinois unless its electrical system passes testing at an accredited lab. The device must meet ANSI/CAN/UL 2272. A traction battery for these devices must also be tested and meet ANSI/CAN/UL 2271. These rules improve fire safety for users and buildings.

Who is covered and when rules start

The law defines what products and batteries are covered, such as low-speed electric scooters, e-bikes, personal e-mobility devices, traction batteries, and accredited testing labs. It explains that accredited labs hold ISO/IEC 17065 or 17025 credentials from bodies in the International Accreditation Forum. The Act takes effect January 1, 2026, and later dates in the law phase in some standards. These definitions give businesses clarity and trigger when compliance starts.
