HB 227 Bangert, Gretchen
HB 227 -- VEHICLE SAFETY BELTS
SPONSOR: Bangert
Currently, any passenger in the front seat of a vehicle and any passenger under 18 years of age must wear a seatbelt except in certain circumstances. This bill, with certain exceptions, requires all passengers in a passenger car and all drivers of trucks as defined in Section 301.010, RSMo, to wear safety belts.
The bill authorizes that persons can be stopped, inspected, or detained solely to determine compliance with this provision of law.
This bill is similar to HB 2677 (2022).
