Modifies provisions relating to child passenger restraint systems
SB 1007 updates Missouri's requirements for child passenger restraints. It mandates that drivers transport children under 16 in appropriate restraints based on age, weight, and height: rear-facing seats until age 2, all children under 4 in a suitable system, and booster seats for children aged 4-8 weighing 40-80 pounds and under 4 feet 9 inches tall. Violations are classified as infractions punishable by a $50 fine, though courts may dismiss charges if the driver provides proof of purchasing a required restraint. The bill exempts school buses designed for 11+ passengers and public carriers, and requires the state to develop public education materials about the rules.
