Booster Seat Legislation Signed Into Law.
Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear signed legislation Wednesday that would require children younger than seven and between 40 and 50 inches tall be secured in a booster seat.
Violators will be issued a warning until 2009, after which there will be a $ 30 fine with no court costs. In addition, violators will have the option to purchase a booster seat instead of paying the fine.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a properly installed booster seat lowers the risk of injury to children by nearly 60 percent.
