Transportation Secretary would propose new seat belt rules for all new school buses.
This bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to propose new federal rules for seat belts on all new school buses. This proposal would need to happen within 180 days of the bill becoming law. The goal is to improve safety for school children who ride buses.
Right now, there is no federal requirement for the Secretary of Transportation to propose new federal seat belt standards for all new school buses. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary would be required to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking within 180 days. This notice would establish new standards, considering specific safety benefits and existing state practices.
