Amend CSHB 323 (Senate committee report printing) by adding
the following Section and renumbering the subsequent Sections
accordingly:
SECTION __. Liability cannot be imposed under section
547.701(e) for buses not equipped with a three-point seat belt for
each passenger if the buses are purchased before September 1, 2010,
or operated by or contracted for use by a school district before
September 1, 2014. A claim that arises with regard to three-point
seat belts on a bus purchased, operated by or contracted for use by
a school district before these dates is governed by the law in
effect on the date the bus was purchased, operated or contracted
for, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
