SCS/SB 30 - Under current law in any civil action to recover damages, failure to wear a safety belt is not allowed as evidence of comparative negligence, but may be introduced to mitigate damages. This act provides that in actions arising out the design, construction, manufacture, distribution, or sale of a motor vehicle factory equipped with a safety belt, failure to wear a safety belt by the plaintiff may be admissible for any purpose. This act is similar to SS/SCS/SB 822 (2018) and SB 321 (2017). KATIE O'BRIEN
