Plain Language Summary

# Summary of HR 3385 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 3385 would require the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to update the federal definition of what qualifies as a motorcycle. Currently, the bill text details are limited in public records, but the legislation aims to modernize how motorcycles are classified under transportation regulations.

This could affect vehicle safety standards, licensing requirements, taxes, and other rules that depend on how a vehicle is officially categorized. **Who It Affects** This bill would impact motorcycle manufacturers, motorcycle owners and riders, and potentially people who ride newer or alternative motorcycle designs. It could also affect insurance companies and state transportation agencies that use federal definitions to set their own rules. **Current Status** HR 3385 was introduced by Representative Derrick Van Orden (R-Wisconsin) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The specific provisions of the bill have not been detailed in available public summaries.
