Oklahoma SB464 mandates child passenger restraint systems for children under eight years old in motor vehicles.

Oklahoma SB464 amends existing law to require drivers to use child passenger restraint systems for children under eight years old in motor vehicles. Children under four must be secured in a rear-facing restraint system until they reach two years old or the child's height or weight limits the restraint system. Children aged four to seven must be secured in a forward-facing restraint system. Exemptions apply to school buses, taxis, mopeds, motorcycles, ambulances, and emergency vehicles. Violations carry fines, with revenue going to the Department of Public Safety.
