Peachstate - "All Helmets must be Snell rated SA2000 or better".
Ohio Valley - "All helmets must meet minimum SA2000 requirements."
Kentucky Region - "All helmets must be SA2000 or SA2005 approved."
Central Indiana Region - "Helmets - Snell Special Application rating (SA2000 or SA2005) required. Snell motorcycle helmets (M95, M00, M05) or non-Snell rated helmets will NOT be permitted. "

I'm suprised it varies like that, but it does.
You will see more standardization in the coming years. Look at the "new" harness/seat rules that PCA National has put forth to the local regions. I am sure helmets are heading that way (and in fact, I am very suprised they aren't already standardized).
