Bill Summary

For legislation to repeal the requirement for operators and passengers on motorcycles over the age of eighteen to wear protective headgear. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to repeal the existing law that requires all motorcycle operators and passengers to wear protective headgear, often referred to as helmets, regardless of age, with a limited exception for those 18 and older participating in a permitted parade. Instead, the bill would amend the law to mandate that only individuals under the age of eighteen operating or riding on a motorcycle, or in a sidecar, must wear protective headgear that meets specific standards set by the Registrar, a term likely referring to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. This change effectively removes the helmet requirement for adults aged eighteen and older on motorcycles.
