Seat Belt Law

Thursday, 9 March 2017

A proposed law to require seat belts on school buses is one step closer to becoming a reality.

The bill is moving onto the state house of representatives after passing the House Transportation Vehicles and Safety

Committee yesterday.

Secretary of State Jesse White says he supports the measure,and a three point seat belt system would diffuse the forceful

and sudden body movements sustained during a crash.

Some schools such as Mattoon say they already have seat belts installed on their buses.
