Michigan House OKs Partial Motorcycle Helmet Repeal

House bill allows riders 21 and older, who have a motorcycle endorsement for two years, and whom also carry $20,000 in insurance, to ride sans helmet. The Senate bill which passed previously requires $100,000 in insurance. The bill now goes back to Senate to hash out the differences, then on to Governor Snyder for his signature. Two previous repeal bills have been shot down by the former governor Jennifer Granholm. Governor Snyder as been silent about whether he will sign the bill when it reaches his desk. It has been suggested that he would like the bill to be combined with a bill reforming the state's no-fault insurance law.
