Illinois motorcycle enthusiasts came one step closer to a mandatory helmet law as a senate committee voted on legislation known as Senate Bill 1351. But the legislation making helmets mandatory for motorcycle riders has a long and bumpy ride ahead of it, not least of which comes from riders who filled the Capitol hearing room cheering loudly during testimony to oppose the plan.
Similar bills have been brought to the state legislature over the years, but either never made it through committee or received enough votes on the house floor. However, this introduction of such legislation has the support of the State Senate's President, Sen. John Cullerton, D-Chicago.
The bill moved to the next stage of approval with a large Democrat vote, some of which say they may not vote for it on a full Senate vote. Source/Read more.
