Seat Belts on School Buses Being Debated in Louisiana Senate
I ve always wondered why there aren t seat belts on school buses. Well, it seems I m not the only one because a new bill is currently being discussed in the Senate that would require them in Louisiana.
The topic of the effectiveness of seat belts on school busses is a polarizing one, with studies supporting both sides of the argument.
Some studies report that having seat belts on school busses would make them safer for children, and would also help curtail bad behavior on the bus. Other studies insist seat belts would provide no benefits to safety due to the construction of the bus and average speed of travel.

BATON ROUGE The House passed a bill 55-44 Tuesday to require any school bus entering the school system in 2023 or after to have seat belts for passengers.
Rep. Robby Carter, D-Amite, said he brought the bill because he knows that the state will not be able to appropriate the funds to require seat belts for passengers in all school buses retroactively.
Carter brought a successful bill in 2004 to require seat belts in school buses, but he did not find a way to fund that bill. Now, 17 years later, he hopes to pass legislation that will actually make the change he meant to make earlier in his career.
