 Legislature - New Jersey- NCSBS
WEST ORANGE, N.J.--After a nearly 20-year legislative gridlock, Governor Jim Florio today signed legislation requiring new school buses to be equipped with seat belts and roof escape hatches--making New Jersey the first state in the nation to mandate school bus safety as law.
Although some New Jersey school districts and other states have voluntarily undertaken school bus seat belt efforts, New Jersey is the first state to mandate these safety measures.
Not only is the new law important because of the protection seat belts provide in a crash, but also because wearing seat belts on school buses helps reinforce the habit that started when the children left the hospital as infants protected by child safety seats.
