AI Summary
This bill, known as the Secure Every Child Under the Right Equipment Standards Act of 2026, or SECURES Act of 2026, requires the Secretary of Transportation to propose new federal rules for seat belts on all new school buses, regardless of their size. Within 180 days of the bill becoming law, the Secretary must publish these proposed rules, considering the safety advantages of lap and shoulder belts (also called "Type 2 seat belt assemblies"), which the National Transportation Safety Board has identified as providing the highest level of protection for school bus passengers. The proposal should also take into account past recommendations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, innovative technologies for seat belt detection and alerts, and the experiences of states that already mandate seat belts on school buses.
