A Missouri lawmaker wants to lift a state law requiring all motorcyclists wear a helmet. Newly elected state Representative Shane Roden of Cedar Hill recently filed legislation that would require only minors to wear helmets. Those with learner�s permits also would need to wear a helmet while driving. Anyone driving or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle now must to wear a helmet or face a maximum $25 fine.
A similar bill that would lift the helmet requirement for those 21 and older failed last session. The measure passed the House but never made it to the Senate floor.
