Colorado's legislature has passed HB 1117, and awaits the signature of the Governor.

This bill targets minors only. Anyone under 18 years of age will be required to wear a helmet. Adults still have freedom of choice.

Based on the mood and the words used by various motorcycle rights organizations, it sounds like the Governor's signature is all but a done deal.

The law will go into effect on July 1, 2007.
