LANSING (AP) -- A new poll says a majority of likely Michigan voters opposes proposed changes that would let some adults ride motorcycles without helmets in the state.
The poll from EPIC-MRA released Friday says 68 percent of those surveyed oppose proposed legislative changes that would allow some to ride without helmets. Thirty-one percent favored the legislation and one percent was undecided.
The telephone poll of 600 respondents was conducted July 9-11 and had a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.
The Michigan Senate has approved a bill that would allow riders 21 or older to go helmetless if they have been licensed to operate a motorcycle for two years or have passed a safety course.
Motorcyclists also would need certain insurance.
The measure is pending in the House.
