1.16(c) The batter's helmet shall be worn by any offensive player while on the playing field, such as a bat boy, on-deck batter, batter, base-runner or player base coach.
Penalty - For a first offense the player shall be warned by the umpire; for second and subsequent offenses in the same game, the player shall be called out. If the violation is by a bat boy, on-deck batter, or player base coach the penalty for their second offense is removal from game and from the field.

WOW! I just went on the web-site for Dixie and you are correct, Rich! I feel inadequate now (I only do OBR, NHFS 7 NCAA rules). Naw! It's a stupid rule to call someone out for removing the helmet. I like the NHFS better, warn, warn the team, eject.
