Requires helmet while operating bicycle, scooter, or motorized scooter.

This bill requires all individuals under 17 years old to wear a properly fitted helmet meeting ANSI or Snell safety standards while operating a bicycle, scooter, motorized scooter, or roller skates on public property. It applies to both riders and operators, with exemptions for specific trails or closed roads. Businesses selling or renting these devices must post clear signage about the helmet law and provide helmets to minors who don’t have one. The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs enforces the requirement, including penalties for businesses that fail to comply.
