Drivers with no child safety seat may pay up
LANSING (AP) -- Michigan lawmakers may no longer let drivers off the hook if child passengers aren't in a safety seat.
Violators now can avoid up to $103 in fines and court costs if they prove they have bought a child safety seat before the court appearance date on their citation.
Under a proposed bill, judges would no longer be required to waive the court penalties. The state Senate's Transportation Committee plans to consider the bill today.
The legislation specifically addresses violators of a requirement to secure children under age 4 in a safety seat. Michigan also requires children under age 8 to be in a booster seat.
