Kansas bill would require lap shoulder belts on new school buses
Kansas lawmakers weigh a measure to require seat belts on all buses purchased after January 1, 2018, for buses carrying ten or more passengers including non district owned vehicles. The bill, sparked by a Chattanooga crash, would not retrofit existing buses, with testim ony sought on safety versus risks of buckling. Local districts like Central Plains USD 112 already use buses with belts, while federal guidance notes compartmentalization as current protection.
