AB 1835, Olsen. Recreational off-highway vehicles: helmets: exemption.
Existing law prohibits a person from operating, or allowing a passenger in, a recreational off-highway vehicle unless the person and the passenger are wearing safety helmets, as specified.
This bill would instead prohibit the above-described activities only on public lands.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
Section 38601 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read:
A person shall not operate, or allow a passenger in, a recreational off-highway vehicle on public lands unless the person and the passenger are wearing safety helmets meeting the requirements established for motorcycles and motorized bicycles pursuant to Section 27802.
