State Sen. Tim Kearney, who represents Delaware County, introduced the legislation this week.
If signed into law, the bill would recognize e-scooters as regulated vehicles, with a 20-mile-per-hour speed limit while banning riders under the age of 16.
Kearney said he's working closely with Abby's family on the bill's details and hopes it will pass quickly.
