This bill proposes amendments to West Virginia's motorcycle safety equipment regulations by removing the existing requirements for operators and passengers to wear helmets and eye protection while riding motorcycles, motor-driven cycles, or mopeds. Specifically, the bill deletes the stipulations that mandate the use of protective helmets that meet certain safety standards and the requirement for safety eyewear or face shields.

In addition to these deletions, the bill introduces new provisions regarding the operation of motorcycles and similar vehicles. It establishes guidelines for the height of handlebars, the positioning of operators and passengers, and the requirement for rearview mirrors. Furthermore, it clarifies that individuals with a valid driver's license operating a fully enclosed autocycle are exempt from these safety equipment requirements. Overall, the bill aims to simplify the regulations surrounding motorcycle operation by eliminating specific safety gear mandates.
