Parson signs megabill with partial motorcycle helmet repeal

July 14, 2020 By Alisa Nelson

Gov. Mike Parson has signed into law today a bill with a component that lets some motorcyclists cruise without a helmet. Under House Bill 1963, a massive state transportation proposal, motorcycle riders can go helmetless if they are at least 26 years old, have medical insurance and have proof of financial responsibility.
