The Insurance Journal Governor Jennifer Granholm is threatening to veto it, but despite that the Michigan House of Representatives voted to repeal a motorcycle helmet law and re-establish one that allows motorcyclists to ride without helmets as long as they’re 21 years old or older.
The repeal was passed by the Democrat-led House on a 63-46 vote, and the bill now goes to the Republican-led state Senate for their review.
Twice in the past few years, the Democratic Governor Granholm has vetoed similar legislation. One of her spokeswomen said that Granholm supports the current law, which requires helmets to be worn by all bikers regardless of their age.
The Governor has stated that she has concerns about safety, and about what might happen to insurance costs if there were no mandatory helmet laws in her state.
