Repeals law providing that violation of rear seat belt law be treated as secondary offense; establishes certain reporting requirements; requires AG to issue report.

This bill (A433) changes New Jersey law to make rear seat belt non-compliance a primary offense, meaning police can stop vehicles and issue tickets solely for this violation - unlike current law, which treats it as secondary (only enforceable during other traffic stops). It requires all state and local law enforcement agencies to submit annual reports to the Attorney General detailing traffic stops involving rear seat belt citations, including stop reasons, citations issued, searches conducted, and arrests made. The Attorney General must analyze this data against pre-bill traffic stop records and report findings to the Governor and Legislature within six months, while also including implementation effects in New Jersey’s federal highway safety plan. The bill directly affects rear seat passengers, law enforcement practices, and state reporting requirements.
