RP,
Good find.... A helmet in the water ????sounds like a safety issue to me, fill it with water and very hard to swim.. although at least they have not taken away the right to ride them yet......This bill has been around in different forms over the last couple of sessions and not gone far... keep an eye on it as I will....
PS great to see others checking on proposed legislation ,maybe I can retire someday...
