Bill Summary
Relative to primary enforcement of seatbelt violations. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 13A of Chapter 90 to remove the requirement that seatbelt violations can only be enforced by law enforcement agencies when the driver has been stopped for another motor vehicle violation or offense. This change would allow law enforcement to conduct primary enforcement of seatbelt violations, meaning they can stop and ticket drivers solely for not wearing a seatbelt, without the need for another underlying offense.
