Law

Unlikely to pass

Bills that override local D.C. laws are often controversial and face significant opposition in the Senate, even if they pass the House.

This bill stops the District of Columbia from requiring motorcycle riders or drivers to wear helmets. It would immediately cancel the city's current safety rules that make headgear mandatory for everyone on a motorcycle.
The plan changes the law that gives D.C. its power to govern itself. It would permanently ban the city council and the mayor from ever passing new helmet requirements in the future.
This change only affects the District of Columbia and does not change any motorcycle laws in the 50 states. It is focused on giving riders in the nation's capital more personal choice about their safety gear.
