South Carolina Supreme Court agrees to hear helmet law controversy

The S.C. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on the (un)constitutionality of Myrtle Beach's helmet law, one of a handful of new ordinances passed with the goal of shutting down the May bike rallies on the grand strand. The Court will consolidate the complaint filed by Business Owners Organized to Support Tourism (BOOST) and the cases of nearly 50 motorcycle riders who were ticketed during a protest ride earlier this year.

There is no date set as of yet for arguments, but it could be as early as this fall.
