HELMET LAW REMAINS IN LOUISIANA
I
n Louisiana, a bill to repeal the state's man-
datory motorcycle helmet law failed in the
House. To pass the House, the bill needed
53 affirmative votes, but received just 49.
Opponents of the bill argued that it would
result in more deaths and create liability
problems for motorists involved in crashes
with motorcyclists. Under current law, all
riders and passengers must wear a helmet.
The bill would have allowed those 21 or older
to choose whether to wear a helmet while
riding. CN
