1/4/08-AB113 remained in the Assembly Committee on Transportation when the 2007 session closed. It can be brought back for consideration during the session that begins Jan. 15.

7/9/07-A bill in the Assembly Transportation Committee would permit police to pull over drivers in who are not buckled up.
Currently, law enforcement in the state can issue seat-belt citations to drivers only after stopping a vehicle for another traffic violation, such as speeding.
Sponsored by Rep. Gary Bies, R-Sister Bay, AB113 would allow for primary enforcement of the state’s seat belt law. It also would increase the fine for failure to adhere to the stricter rule from $10 to $25. No points would be assessed against violators’ driver’s licenses.

The Senate version – SB120 – is in Senate Transportation, Tourism and Insurance Committee.
