AI Summary
This bill aims to establish a commission to determine whether seat belts should be required on school buses in Massachusetts. The commission will study the potential safety benefits of seat belts, evaluate the appropriate type of seat belt (lap or cross-body), and assess whether current school buses should be retrofitted with seat belts and who would bear the associated costs. The goal is to improve the safety of school-age children by potentially mandating the use of seat belts on school buses in the Commonwealth.
