HB 3085 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to child safety on motorcycles and motortricycles

HB 3085, known as "Calvin's Law," establishes new safety requirements for motorcycle riders and passengers. It requires all riders under 26 to wear protective headgear while riding, prohibits allowing children under 10 to ride as passengers without a proper seat and foot pegs (with medical exemptions permitted), and mandates that children under 10 wear headgear meeting state standards. Violations of the headgear requirement carry fines up to $25 for adults (or $100 if a child under 10 is involved), while operating without a motorcycle license can lead to escalating penalties, from misdemeanors to felony charges for repeat offenses. The bill also prohibits local governments from imposing additional headgear rules and clarifies that police may stop riders solely to check child passenger compliance (not for general headgear).
