IN RE: | HB3846 by Swinford (relating to the requirement to wear safety apparel and seat belts while operating certain off-highway vehicles; changing the elements of an offense.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would amend the Parks and Wildlife Code relating to the requirement to wear safety apparel and seat belts while operating certain off-highway vehicles. To the extent the bill would result in additional convictions and additional court costs or fines being ordered relating to failure to wear seat belts on certain off-highway vehicles, no significant fiscal implication to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department or the State is anticipated. The bill would take immediate effect if the bill receives two-thirds the vote of all members. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2009.
