Delay Seen in Helmet Repeal Action in Iowa
DES MOINES AP The repeal of Iowa motorcycle helmet law may not take effect July 1 as passed by the legislature. Gov Ravert Ray may not sign the broad rewrite of the criminal code by that date. If not signed by July 1 it would become effective August 15 with most sections delayed to Jan 1 1978 to give lawyers and judges time to study the new provisions. About 15 people are involved in shaping the bill and all amendments must be inserted before sending to the governor.
