IN RE:
SB1524 by Zaffirini (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.
