What better way to sell a product that nobody wants by passing a law requiring that product.

Can you say conflict of interest? I knew you could....

Here in Texas, people do not need helmets to ride motorcycles.

Legislation was passed at the urging of the bicycle helmet mfg. So you need one for a bike but not for a Motorcycle.

Probably because “it’s for the CHIIIILLLLLDRENNNNN”. Bikes are common with kids, but they aren’t usually riding motorcycles.
