CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 820 - Currently, drivers, front seat passengers, and passengers under 18 years of age are required to wear a safety belt in a vehicle manufactured after January 1, 1968, and designed for carrying up to 10 people, including trucks with a licensed gross weight less than 12,000 pounds. This act specifies that each person in a passenger vehicle, manufactured after January 1, 1968, carrying up to 10 people, including trucks regardless of weight, must wear a safety belt when operated on the streets or highways of Missouri unless the person has a medical reason documented by a physician. This act also repeals the provision prohibiting a person from being stopped solely for not wearing a safety belt.
This act is identical to SB 275 (2015) and HB 1959 (2014).
