Legislation that would require children to wear helmets while riding off-road vehicles is headed to the governor for his consideration.
The bill would require helmets for children under 18 years old while riding dirt bikes, snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles or dune buggies.
The measure would not apply to private property owned by a child's relative or legal guardian or if the child is operating the vehicle for the purpose of hunting and holds a hunting license.
The state Senate completed legislative action on the bill Wednesday.
The sponsor is Senator Diane Black of Gallatin.
