Allows primary enforcement of the seat belt law in Missouri.
Missouri HB3388 allows for primary enforcement of the seat belt law, meaning law enforcement can stop drivers for not wearing seat belts. It repeals and replaces existing law to clarify that failure to wear a seat belt can be used as evidence in certain legal cases. The law also mandates that drivers secure children under 16 in a properly adjusted and fastened restraint. Exemptions apply for medical reasons and agricultural work. The state highways and transportation commission must develop a public information program to ensure compliance.
