HB2750 is a bill that amends the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the use of protective helmets by operators and passengers of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and motor-driven cycles. The bill permits law enforcement officers to issue citations for not wearing a protective helmet specifically to operators or passengers who are 16 or 17 years old. It also allows for citations to be issued to operators who are at least 16 years old if they have a passenger under 16 not wearing a helmet, or if the operator or passenger under 16 is not wearing a helmet and is part of the same group or party as the operator who is at least 16 years old.

The bill also introduces exemptions from the helmet requirement for certain vehicles. It exempts farm or agricultural vehicles if the operator or passenger is engaged in agricultural work, and it exempts recreational off-highway vehicles that meet specific criteria, such as being designed primarily for recreational nonhighway all-terrain travel, having an unladen weight of 2,500 pounds or less, and being equipped with a rollover protective structure and an occupant retention system.
