Transworld reports that California legislature have passed two ski and snowboard helmet bills.

In a 21-13 bipartisan vote, the California State Senate resoundingly approved a bill that would require all children under 18 to wear a helmet while skiing or snowboarding on the state’s slopes. According to SB 880, authored by Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco), parents of helmetless hooligans would be subject to a maximum fine of $25 and resorts would be required to post signs and information about the law.
