For legislation relative to child passenger safety. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to require that children under the age of 13 be seated in the rear passenger seats of motor vehicles, unless the vehicle does not have a rear passenger seat or the rear seats are already occupied by other children under 13 years old. The purpose of this law is to enhance child passenger safety by restricting the placement of young passengers in the front seats, where they may be more vulnerable in the event of a collision.
