Requires motorcycle operators and passengers to wear protective headgear
HB 3119 requires motorcycle operators and passengers under age 26 to wear protective headgear while the vehicle is in motion on state highways. It provides an exception for riders age 26 or older who maintain qualifying health insurance covering motorcycle accident injuries, requiring them to show proof of coverage upon request. The bill makes failure to wear headgear an infraction with a maximum $25 fine, prohibits stops solely to check compliance, and prohibits court costs or license points for this violation. It does not apply to motorcycle operators or passengers age 26+ who meet the insurance requirement.
