SB1680, as amended by the House of Representatives, focuses on the enforcement of protective headgear requirements for motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle, and motor-driven cycle operators and passengers under 18 years of age. The bill allows law enforcement officers to issue citations to minors aged 16 or 17 who have a driver's license or permit and are not wearing a helmet. Additionally, adult operators can be cited if they carry a minor passenger without a helmet or if they are part of a group where a minor is not wearing a helmet.

The bill also outlines exceptions to the helmet requirement, such as when the vehicle is operated on private property, used for agricultural work, or is a certain type of all-terrain vehicle. For an initial violation, the penalty is set at a $100 civil fine or community service for 16 or 17-year-olds. The bill includes conforming changes and is set to become effective on the general effective date.
