To remove the helmet law in West Virginia.

HB 4069 would remove West Virginia's current requirement that motorcycle operators and passengers wear helmets meeting specific safety standards (ANSI Z90.1, DOT FMVSS 218, or Snell) and eye protection meeting ANSI Z2.1 standards. The bill specifically targets sections (a) and (b) of existing law §17C-15-44, which mandate these safety equipment requirements. If passed, this change would directly affect all motorcycle riders and passengers in West Virginia, eliminating the legal obligation for helmets and eye protection. The bill does not alter other motorcycle safety rules, such as handlebar height limits, seating positions, or rearview mirror requirements.
