What it does
The Ride in Freedom Act would prohibit the District of Columbia from requiring individuals to wear protective helmets while operating or riding on motorcycles or motor-driven cycles. It would repeal an existing D.C. regulation mandating helmet use and amend the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to explicitly forbid the Council or Mayor from enacting or enforcing any such helmet requirement. The bill defines "helmet," "motorcycle," and "motor-driven cycle" according to current D.C. Municipal Regulations.
