Motor Vehicles - School Buses - Seat Belts

HB 110 requires all public schools in Maryland to include seat belt safety instruction in their safety education programs. It mandates that school buses purchased after July 1, 2030, must be equipped with 3-point seat belts for every seat. The bill also prohibits lawsuits or criminal charges against school bus operators if a passenger fails to wear a seat belt. This affects schools, bus manufacturers, and school bus operators by setting new safety standards and limiting liability for non-compliance.
