Ride in Freedom Act
The Ride in Freedom Act prohibits the District of Columbia from requiring individuals to wear protective helmets while operating or riding on motorcycles and motor-driven cycles. The bill directly repeals the existing local regulation that mandates helmet use for these vehicles. Additionally, it amends the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to explicitly prevent the local Council and Mayor from enacting any future laws or resolutions that would impose such a requirement.
