A BILL To require the Secretary of Transportation to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking concerning seat belts on school buses, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, also known as the "SECURES Act of 2026," mandates that the Secretary of Transportation must, within 180 days of the bill's enactment, propose new federal rules for seat belt requirements on all new school buses, regardless of their size. In developing these proposed rules, the Secretary is required to consider the safety advantages of lap/shoulder seat belts, which the National Transportation Safety Board has identified as providing the highest level of protection for school bus passengers, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's past statement supporting three-point seat belts for every child. The Secretary must also look into innovative technologies like seat belt detection and reminder systems, and learn from states that already require seat belts on their school buses.
