HB3783 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to require operators and passengers of motorcycles, motor-driven cycles, and mopeds to wear safety helmets. The bill defines a safety helmet as a protective head covering with a hard outer shell, padding, and a chin-strap retention system meeting U.S. Department of Transportation standards. Exceptions include fully enclosed three-wheeled vehicles meeting specific size and weight requirements and individuals wearing turbans or patkas for religious reasons. The intent is to enhance safety for riders.
