Seriously, joining these at the hip would make absolutely no sense
whatsoever as they are of two completely different philosophies. The
first (AB309) requiring headgear is about government paternalism and the
second (AB 1540) providing liability protection "when a horse acts liek a
horse" is about individual rider responsibility for accepting inherent
risks.

So one is an incredibly good law and one is an incredibly bad law (which
is which depends on your personal philosophies). To link them together is
ensure that nobody is happy no matter which way the vote goes.
