Georgia Closes Seat Belt Law Loophole
According to Don Thomas, a physician and the bill’s sponsor, the new law could save 100 lives per year.
From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
After 14 years of serving Dalton as a senator, Don Thomas is going home on a high note.
On Tuesday, the Georgia House of Representatives passed Thomas’ seat belt legislation, which closes the pick-up truck loophole in the current seat belt law.
It is his last piece of legislation, as he plans to retire at the end of this session.
