MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC Child Safety Restraint Requirements: Amend Provision Relating to Safety Belts as Equipment and Safety Restraints for Children Under Four Years of Age in Certain Vehicles; Require Children Four Years of Age or Younger in a Passenger Automobile to be Restrained in an Approved Child Safety Restraint; Amend Exceptions to the Law

The Act changes the Georgia Code section relating to safety belts and safety restraints for children four years old or younger riding in a passenger automobile, van, or pickup truck. Specifically, the Act requires that all children four years old and younger be restrained in a federally approved child safety restraint system. The Act permits an exception for children whose parents have obtained a physician's written statement indicating that a physical or medical condition prevents the child from being restrained in such a device.
