Bill Summary
For legislation to require the use of seat belts on certain school buses. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to create a commission to study the potential benefits of requiring seatbelts on school buses in Massachusetts. The commission would determine whether seatbelts should be installed in future school bus purchases, how to ensure consistent use of seatbelts, and whether any seatbelt mandate should apply to current buses or only future purchases. The commission would also review the type of seatbelts (lap or cross-body) that should be required, whether bus operators should instruct students on proper use, and who would bear the cost of retrofitting existing buses with seatbelts if the commission deems it beneficial for the safety of school-age children in the commonwealth.
