AI Summary

This bill aims to repeal the requirement for operators and passengers over the age of 18 to wear protective headgear while on a motorcycle, but maintains the requirement for those under 18 to wear protective helmets. It proposes to amend Section 7 of Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws by striking out the existing language that mandates helmet use for all motorcycle operators and passengers and replacing it with a new paragraph that only requires helmet use for those under 18 years of age.
