Booster Seat Bill Passes General Assembly

A bill that will require children under the age of seven to ride in booster seats is now heading to the desk of Governor Steve Beshear.

The legislation passed the House 88-8 .

The bill would require children under seven years-old and between 40 and 50 inches tall to be secured in child booster seats. Violators will be issued a warning until July 1, 2009. After that the offense would carry a $ 30 fine, violators could avoid the penalty by purchasing a booster seat.
