An Act establishing safety standards for BMX bicycle and motorcross tracks

This bill, "Colby's Law," requires all BMX and motocross tracks operating in Massachusetts to register with the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security and obtain annual permits after safety inspections. It mandates specific safety measures, including proper track grading, spectator barriers, on-site medical equipment (like AEDs), certified medical personnel during events, and mandatory protective gear (helmets meeting safety standards, plus pads for motocross riders). The law also requires operators to maintain liability insurance, conduct safety briefings for new participants, and implement special safety rules for riders under 18, including parental consent and speed limits. Violations can result in fines up to $5,000, and the state must run public safety awareness campaigns.
