HB 1674 -- School Bus Safety Belts

Sponsor:  Flook

This bill imposes a surcharge on moving traffic violations and
creates the School Bus Safety Assistance Fund to assist school
districts in obtaining buses that have seat belts for all
passengers.  The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
will allocate the funds, and priority will be given to buses used
for elementary schools.  Beginning January 1, 2007, new buses
purchased or buses manufactured after that date must be equipped
with lap-shoulder safety belts or other federally approved
restraint systems.  The bill specifies how the belts must be used
and exempts the state and school districts, among others, from
liability for non-use or misuse of the belt under conditions
described in the bill.
