Massachusetts H2340 allows police to enforce seatbelt laws without needing another violation.
Massachusetts H2340 amends the state's seatbelt law to allow police to enforce seatbelt violations as a primary offense, meaning they can stop drivers solely for not wearing a seatbelt. Previously, officers could only enforce seatbelt laws if the driver was stopped for another violation. This change aims to increase seatbelt compliance and improve road safety.
