LB1004 – What is it and what does it mean for the Helmet Repeal?
Effectively immediately, any Nebraska rider with a motorcycle license (i.e “M” endorsement) issued before May 1, 2024 is required to:
- Complete the 3-hour Motorcycle Safety Foundation online course.
- This applies to riders 21 & older ONLY
After May 1, 2024, Nebraska riders obtaining their “M” endorsement for the first time are required to:
- Complete both the 3-Hour Motorcycle Safety Foundation online course AND riding portion of training.
- This applies to riders 21 & older ONLY
PLEASE NOTE:
- Riders under the age of 21 are REQUIRED TO WEAR A HELMET in the State of Nebraska.
- The Motorcycle Safety Foundation eCourse can be used to waive the helmet requirement for any Nebraska motorcycle license issued prior to 5/1/2024 if they are age 21 or older.
- IMPORTANT: Proof of course completion MUST be submitted to the Nebraska DMV via https://ne.accessgov.com/dmv/Forms/Page/motorcycle-safety/request-to-submit-motorcycle-safety-course-completion/0 or in-person at a driver licensing office. It must be SUBMITTED, REVIEWED, AND APPROVED by Nebraska DMV personnel. Just completing the course DOES NOT waive the helmet law.
