Bill > S2520

This bill, titled "Relative to child passenger safety," amends existing Massachusetts law, specifically Section 7AA of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, to enhance child passenger safety by prohibiting children under the age of 13 from sitting in the front passenger seat of a motor vehicle on any public road. This restriction applies unless the vehicle lacks a rear passenger seat entirely, or if all rear passenger seats are already occupied by other children under the age of 13. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that younger children are placed in the safest possible seating positions within a vehicle, generally considered to be the rear seats.
