Increased safety belt violation forfeiture
This bill increases the forfeiture from $10 to $25 for violations of motor vehicle safety belt requirements. Under current law, if a motor vehicle is required to be equipped with safety belts, no person may operate the vehicle unless the person and each passenger who is at least eight years old is properly restrained. Separate requirements and penalties apply to passengers for whom child safety restraint systems are required.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 347.50 (2m) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
347.50 (2m) (a) Any person who violates s. 347.48 (2m) (b) or (c) and any person 16 years of age or older who violates s. 347.48 (2m) (d) shall be required to forfeit $10 $25.
(End)
