House Passes Seat Belts Measure For Vans

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Under a Senate measure that passed the House Tuesday by a vote of 61-33, vans that carry 15 or fewer passengers would be required to have seat belts. Representative Hubert Collins, a Wittensville Democrat who proposed the bill in the House, says it would change the current law, which applies only to vans that carry 10 or fewer passengers. The bill, sponsored by Republican Senator Ernie Harris of Crestwood, passed the Senate 31-5 early in the session.
