Ohio Seat Belt Law May Change

There is a provision in the Ohio Budget Bill (HB 2), Ohio’s massive traffic law overhaul, that would change the current Ohio seat belt law from secondary enforcement to primary enforcement. This means that drivers can be pulled over for not wearing a seat belt without another violation being committed. This is a betrayal of promises made by the Ohio legislature which assured motorists that the law was only going to be enforced as a secondary law when the law was being considered for passage. Contact your representatives and let them know you do not support this law.
