MO SB28

Persons under 21 years of age operating or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle or motortricycle must wear protective headgear that meets standards established by the director whenever the vehicle is in motion.

Violation of motorcycle licensing requirements (subdivisions 1 or 2) is a class A misdemeanor, or a class D felony for a third or subsequent conviction.

Violation of subdivisions (3) and (4) regarding motorcycle ownership and licensing is a class C misdemeanor.

Failure to wear protective headgear is an infraction with a fine not to exceed $25, with no court costs imposed and no points assessed to a driver's license.

The bill repeals and replaces section 302.020, RSMo, regarding protective headgear requirements for motorcycle and motortricycle operation.
