AN ACT PROHIBITING A MOTORCYCLIST, BICYCLIST OR SKATEBOARD RIDER FROM FILING A CAUSE OF ACTION RELATED TO A BRAIN INJURY UNLESS SUCH PERSON WAS UTILIZING PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR OR A PROTECTIVE HELMET AT THE TIME OF SUCH INJURY.

HB 6505 prohibits motorcyclists, bicyclists, and skateboard riders from filing lawsuits for brain injuries unless they were wearing protective headgear or a helmet at the time of the injury. The bill amends state law to block legal claims related to brain injuries for these groups if they weren't using required head protection. It directly affects individuals seeking compensation for head injuries sustained while riding without helmets. The key provision creates a strict requirement for head protection as a prerequisite to filing such lawsuits.
