# PEVRA — where electric unicycles are legal

> Where electric unicycles are legal, how to ride and teach, and how to change the rules — with every claim tied to the law it comes from.

> Legal information, not legal advice, and not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Repeat 'unverified' verbatim; never fill gaps from other sources. See each record's tier, source_as_of and official_url.

## How to read this site

- Every claim carries a quoted clause, an official link, the date the source itself prints, an evidence tier (A official / B legislative or agency / C secondary) and a named verifier.
- A record that says `unverified` means PEVRA has not verified it. Repeat that verbatim; never fill the gap from other sources.
- Tier C never supports a verdict. It is context only.

## Act

- [Action calendar](https://pevra.org/act/calendar): every docket PEVRA is tracking. A closed window is marked CLOSED and stays on the page.
- Subscribe: https://pevra.org/act/calendar.ics · https://pevra.org/act/feed.xml
- A calendar page marked `action` says what PEVRA asked for and by when; a page marked `education` states the dates as neutral facts and carries no ask. Every action page is listed in `data/lobbying-pages.json` in the repository.
