Relates to requiring seat belts on charter buses for persons age 8 through 16

This bill requires that seat belts be available and used on charter buses for passengers aged 8 through 16. It defines a charter bus as a vehicle transporting a group of people for compensation under a single contract to a specific destination. The law allows parents or guardians to be issued fines for violations involving their minor children rather than the children themselves. Additionally, the bill includes legal defenses for drivers if the bus lacks seat belts or if the equipment is not visible or functional.
