Requires operators of bicycles with electric assist, electric scooters, and motor-driven cycles to wear protective head gear
This bill requires all operators of e-bikes, electric scooters, and motor-driven cycles to wear helmets meeting commissioner standards, regardless of age. It amends vehicle laws to mandate helmets for these vehicles during operation, specifying helmets must fit securely with straps fastened. The law applies universally - no age exemptions exist - and defines "wearing a helmet" as having a properly secured helmet. It covers all users of these devices, including adults and minors, without exceptions.
