New Jersey A553 makes rear seat belt violations a primary offense and requires reporting on their enforcement.
New Jersey A553 repeals the law that treated rear seat belt violations as a secondary offense, meaning law enforcement can now stop and ticket drivers solely for this violation. The bill also mandates that state and local law enforcement agencies report annually on traffic stops where rear seat belt violations were cited. The Attorney General must then issue a report comparing these data with previous years to assess the impact on law enforcement practices.
