AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the District of Columbia from requiring people to wear a protective helmet to operate or ride on a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle. The D.C. Council could not pass, and the Mayor could not enforce, any rule that requires a helmet for motorcycle riders or passengers. The bill would repeal an existing D.C. regulation on this subject. It would also amend the D.C. Home Rule Act to add this limit to the list of things the Council may not do.
