Kids & Ski Helmets: Bill Introduced in California

A bill introduced in California would require skiers under age 18 to wear protective headgear, or their parents would face a $25 fine. The legislation introduced by Senator Leland Yee, D-San Mateo, who says that safety is the chief concern. Discussion of the bill by lawmakers is still weeks away. The California Ski Industry Association pledges to support the bill as it currently written.
