Lets D.C. motorcycle riders choose whether to wear a helmet
This bill would let people riding motorcycles or motor-driven cycles in the District of Columbia choose whether to wear a helmet. It would stop the D.C. government from requiring helmets and would get rid of the current rule that makes them mandatory. This means D.C. officials could not create or enforce such a rule again.
Currently, people operating or riding on motorcycles or motor-driven cycles in the District of Columbia must wear a protective helmet, as required by local D.C. law. If this bill becomes law, that D.C. helmet requirement would be repealed. The District of Columbia would also be permanently blocked from creating or enforcing any future laws mandating helmet use for these vehicles.
