This bill has already passed the Senate. We have this last chance to defeat it!
SB116 makes not wearing a seat belt a primary offense, which means the police can stop you at any time for any reason to see if you are wearing your seat belt. The current law prohibits the issuance of a citation for failure to wear a safety belt unless the vehicle is stopped or the person is arrested for another offense. By removing this provision, this bill allows the issuance of a citation for not wearing a seat belt even if there is no other violation. We are moving towards a police state.
In every state that has made wearing a seat belt a primary offense there is federal money (taxpayers money) attached. 92.2% of Nevadans use seat belts now, whereas just 2 years ago it was 91%, so seat belt use is increasing voluntarily. Also, Nevada’s seat belt use is considerably better than the national average, which is 81% usage. Why do we need this bill?
MESSAGE: Vote NO on SB116: I oppose making not wearing seat belt a primary offense.
