A North Dakota House committee is recommending a “do-not-pass” on a bill that makes not buckling up a primary offense.
It’s currently a secondary offense, meaning drivers must be stopped for another reason, and a fine for not wearing your seat belt can be added at that time. A primary offense means an officer can stop you for that reason.
A “do-pass” motion failed 8 to 5. The “do-not-pass” motion passed 8 to 5. The bill – SB 2121 – now goes to the House floor. It earlier passed the Senate 28 to 18.
There were 97 fatalities on North Dakota roads in 2020. The NDHP says the figure stands at 21 so far in 2021.
