On July 22, 2013 the Council passed a bill <br />establishing moped regulations and requisite fines for violations. The bill was supported by SBPD Chief <br />Ron Teachman and Division Chief Scott Ruszkowski. In the next session of the General Assembly HEA <br />1343 was passed which established statewide moped regulations. This state law essentially pre - empted <br />local regulations. Bill 13 -15 removes local regulations and fines from the City statutes. <br />Councilmember Tim Scott author of the 2013 bill, made the presentation stating he was happy to see <br />South Bend's initiative adopted statewide. <br />Valerie Schey moved to send the bill favorably to full Council. Dr. Fred Ferlic seconded and all <br />supported. <br />There being no other business Derek Dieter adjourned at 4:03 P.M. <br />espectfully Submit ed,l <br />Y�J <br />Dere Dieter, Chairperson <br />Health & Public Safety Commission <br />
