This bill amends Section 61-9-417 of the Montana Code Annotated to specify that helmet requirements will not apply to autocycles that are completely enclosed. The legislation aims to clarify the regulations surrounding the use of autocycles, which are defined as three-wheeled vehicles that provide full protection to the occupants.

By removing the helmet requirement for enclosed autocycles, the bill seeks to promote the use of these vehicles while ensuring safety standards are maintained for other types of motorcycles and similar vehicles. This change reflects a growing recognition of the unique design and safety features of enclosed autocycles compared to traditional motorcycles.
