Abstract

The bill would have amended the Georgia's seatbelt laws, which exempt the occupants of pickup trucks (unless the occupant is under the age of 18), farm vehicles, motorcycles, and off-road vehicles from the laws requiring safety belt use. This bill would require all pickup truck occupants, regardless of age, to wear safety belts. The bill would retain the exemptions for farm vehicles and motorcycles.
