The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports Monday that the Supreme Court will hear the case filed earlier this year by Bart Viers and Boost, a pro-bike rally group of businesses.
Boost says Myrtle Beach broke the law by requiring motorcycle riders to wear helmets. State law does not require riders 21 years and older to wear helmets.
City officials have tried to end three weeks of biker rallies, passing new laws banning parking lot gatherings, loud mufflers and riding without helmets. A report says far fewer bikers came to the Grand Strand in May for the Harley-Davidson Rally and the Atlantic Beach Bikefest.
