A HOUSE BILL IN SANTA FE WOULD REQUIRE SEAT BELTS TO BE INSTALLED IN SCHOOL BUSES. IF THE BILL PASSES BOTH HOUSES AND IS SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR, REPRESENTATIVE JACK CHATFIELD SAYS THE LEGISLATURE WOULD DECIDE HOW MUCH FUNDING WOULD BE PROVIDED FOR THE NEW BUSES.
HOUSE BILL 265 WOULD REQUIRE ANY BUSES MANUFACTURED OR BOUGHT AFTER JANUARY 1ST, 2020 TO HAVE SEAT BELTS AS WELL AS SYSTEMS FOR STABILITY CONTROL AND AVOIDING CRASHES.
