Mississippi SB2232 increases fines for seat belt violations and directs funds to safety education programs.

Mississippi SB2232 amends existing laws to increase the fine for failing to use a seat belt and mandates that fines be deposited into specific funds for driver training and safety education. The Department of Revenue must notify vehicle owners about the seat belt requirement when issuing license tags. The State Highway Commission can erect signs to remind the public about mandatory seat belt use. The bill also creates the Use of Safety Seat Belt Education Fund to support public education programs on seat belt usage.
