Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED
Requires a helmet for riders under 18 on assistive mobility devices.

Anyone under 18 who rides, operates, or is otherwise propelled on an electric personal assistive mobility device must wear a properly fitted, securely fastened bicycle helmet, up from the prior age-16 cutoff.

The helmet must still meet the same safety standard already required in law; only the age at which the requirement stops has changed, extending it to cover 16- and 17-year-olds.

KEY PROVISIONS
§ 1 Helmet mandate now covers riders under 18, not just under 16 majors. 316.2068

AIThe mandatory bicycle-helmet requirement for electric personal assistive mobility devices, which used to stop at age 16, now applies to anyone under 18, adding 16- and 17-year-olds to the group that must wear one.

“A person who is under the age of 18 years may not operate, ride, or otherwise be propelled”
