It is unlawful for any operator of an open motorized vehicle within the city limits, on public property or on private property which is open to public travel, to carry any passenger on that vehicle if the passenger is under the age of eighteen (18) unless the passenger is wearing a properly fitted and properly fastened protective helmet.

(Ord. 2004-08 § 1 (part), 2004)
- 10.08.015 – Penalties.
A. Upon conviction of violating any provision of this chapter, a person shall pay a fine of fifty dollars ($50.00) for a first offense, one hundred dollars ($100.00) for a second offense, and one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) for a third and subsequent offenses plus surcharges required to be imposed by Alaska Statutes 12.55.039.
B.
