Summary
The legislation would prohibit the District of Columbia from requiring anyone to wear a protective helmet while operating or riding a motorcycle or motor‑driven cycle. It would affect all riders and passengers in D.C. and would limit the local government's ability to set helmet safety rules. The measure is intended to preserve individual choice over helmet use.
