IN RE:
HB448 by Turner, Chris (Relating to the creation of an offense for failing to secure certain children in a rear-facing child passenger safety seat system.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to create an offense for a person failing to secure certain children in a rear-facing child passenger seat.
The offense would be punishable by a fine of not less than $25 and not more than $250.
Local Government Impact
Costs associated with enforcement and prosecution could likely be absorbed within existing resources. Revenue gain from fines imposed and collected is not anticipated to have a significant fiscal impact.
