The NH Senate passed a bike helmet bill today. The bill requires children under the age of 16 to wear a bike helmet while riding. The bill had already passed the House and Governor John Lynch has said he will sign this bill.
Why is this a good idea? New Hampshire needs this bill. It is estimated that the cost of a severe brain injury to a child is $4.5 million dollars.
