SB 323 - Currently, every person operating or riding a motorcycle or motortricycle is required to wear protective headgear. This act provides that persons under the age of 18 who are operating or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle or motortricycle shall wear a helmet when the vehicle is in motion. Similarly, a person who is 18 or older, is operating a motorcycle or motortricycle, and who has been issued an instruction permit shall wear a helmet when the vehicle is in motion. This act also provides that qualified operators who are 18 or older may operate a motorcycle or motortricycle without a helmet if he or she has medical payment insurance coverage of at least $1 million. Proof of such coverage shall be provided on request of law enforcement by showing a copy of the qualified operator's insurance card. These provisions are identical to HB 535 (2017), and similar to provisions in HB 235 (2017), HCS/HB 576 (2017), HB 588 (2017), HB 1371 (2016), SCS/HB 1464 (2016), HB 1657 (2016), HB 1663 (2016), HB 1749 (2016), HB 2719 (2016), HB 2720 (2016), and SCS/SBs 851 & 694 (2016).
