Illinois is facing the first mandatory helmet bill in over a decade! The bill, created by State Representative Daniel Didech, is HB5620. Below is an excerpt (the language added by the bill is underlined):

“The operator of a motorcycle, motor driven cycle, or
moped and every passenger thereon shall be protected by a motorcycle helmet and glasses, goggles, or a transparent shield.”

If Representative Didech gets his way, riders will lose the freedom to decide when it comes to safety gear. If you oppose riders losing this freedom, please head over to abate-il.org/helmet to learn about filing slips to oppose this bill.
