This is a proposed bill, brought up by a legislator probably to satisfy one of his constituents. These sorts of proposals usually don't go anywhere, but when they do advance a lot of the silliness usually goes away. Here's the text of that part:

2) on a highway with a speed limit IN EXCESS of 35 miles an hour or greater,shall wear exterior garments above the waist with a total of not less than2 00 square inches of hunter orange, high-visibility lime, or retro-reflective material visible at all times while riding. GARMENTS MAY INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MEETING THE COLOR OR RETRO-REFLECTIVE REQUIREMENT:
A) BICYCLE JERSEYS;
(B)ATHLETIC APPAREL;
C)SAFETY VESTS;
(D)HUNTER VESTS;OR
(E)GARMENTS ON WHICH RETROREFLECTIVE TAPE HAS BEEN APPLIED.
200 sq.in. is not a lot especially if distributed front, side, and back. Recumbent riders can still comply although it won't be all that effective of a "fix".

Write to Mr. Loge as well as to your rep. and tell them what you think.
