It's all pretty stupid, for sure (and I'll be writing my senator). But it's the "or" between sections 1 and 2 that's important. You can carry a passenger if you meet all the criteria in 1, or if your passenger meets one of the criteria in 2.

Quote:
Sec. 545.4161. OPERATION OF SPORT BIKE. (a) In addition to
the requirements and prohibitions under Section 545.416, an
operator may not carry another person on a sport bike unless the
sport bike is designed to carry more than one person and:

(1) the operator:
(A) is at least 18 years of age; and
(B) has had a Class M license for at least two
years;

or

(2) the other person:
(A) is at least 18 years of age and holds a Class
M license; or
(B) is a motorcycle operator training and safety
course instructor certified under Chapter 662.

(b) An operator of a sport bike shall ensure that a
passenger on the sport bike complies with all department
regulations relating to motorcycle safety.
