The law is expected to inspire similar legislation across the U.S. But bicycle makers fear that helmet laws could hurt business.

The Kennedy-Simpson bill being considered by the House sets an annual "flexible" cap of about 630,000 legal immigrants per year, far less than the U.S. economy could absorb. Moreover...
