AI Summary

This bill repeals the requirement for operators and passengers over the age of 18 to wear protective headgear (motorcycle helmets) while operating or riding on a motorcycle. However, it maintains the requirement for those under 18 years of age to wear protective headgear when operating or riding on a motorcycle. The bill aims to provide motorcycle riders aged 18 and above the option to choose whether to wear a helmet or not, while still prioritizing the safety of younger riders.
