Introduced
by
To repeal the mandatory motorcycle helmet requirement for a motorcycle operator who pays an extra $100 annual fee (or $200 for three years), has had a license for two years (or takes a safety course), and purchases extra insurance with $20,000 personal injury coverage. Passengers would have to pay another $100 (or $200) to ride helmetless. The bill also increases the penalties for riding helmetless without paying the extra fee. Those who have paid would get a license plate sticker indicating this. Out-of-state riders would not have to buy the permit if they own their motorcycle.
Referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform
