8/6/03 - Sen. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Tucson, said she plans to continue her campaign for a primary law for seat belt enforcement in the state.
Under a primary seat belt law police could pull over and ticket drivers solely for not buckling up. Currently, police cannot cite a driver for a seat belt violation unless the driver is pulled over for other reasons.
Giffords sponsored a bill during this year's legislative session that would have toughened Arizona's seat-belt law. However, the bill did not pass.
