Minnesota SF669 repeals the seat belt use gag rule, allowing evidence of seat belt use in personal injury and property damage litigation.

Minnesota SF669 repeals a statute that previously barred the introduction of evidence regarding the use or non-use of seat belts or child passenger restraint systems in personal injury or property damage litigation. This change allows such evidence to be considered in court, while still protecting the rights of individuals to sue over defectively designed, manufactured, installed, or operating seat belts or child restraint systems.
