H.R. 3385 directs the Secretary of Transportation to update the federal definition of a motorcycle within 120 days of the bill's enactment. The new definition specifies that a motorcycle must be a motor vehicle with a seat requiring the rider to sit astride, powered by motive force, having no more than three wheels in contact with the ground, controlled by handlebars for steering, and capable of exceeding 30 mph. This bill affects motorcycle manufacturers, riders, and owners, as well as the transportation industry that must comply with the updated federal regulations. The legislation does not include explicit funding provisions, as it simply requires the Department of Transportation to issue regulatory guidance based on the definition provided in the bill.
