West Virginia HB4069 would remove the helmet and eye protection requirements for motorcyclists.

West Virginia HB4069 would amend the state's motorcycle safety equipment requirements by removing the need for helmets and eye protection. The bill would still require motorcyclists to wear securely fastened helmets meeting certain standards, but would eliminate the requirement for eye protection. The bill also allows for additional passengers on motorcycles with appropriate seating and footrests, and requires rearview mirrors and windshields for safety.
