Bill Summary

Repeals law providing that violation of rear seat belt law be treated as secondary offense; establishes certain reporting requirements; requires AG to issue report.

AI Summary

This bill repeals the law that treated violations of the rear seat belt law as a secondary offense, meaning law enforcement could not stop a vehicle solely for a rear seat belt violation. Instead, the bill establishes certain reporting requirements for state and local law enforcement agencies to submit data on traffic stops and citations related to the rear seat belt law, which the Attorney General will analyze to determine the impact of the change. The bill also requires the State to include information on the implementation of this act in its Highway Safety Plan submitted to federal transportation agencies.
