IL HB2374

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code Section 12-807 to require seat belts and restraint systems on school buses.

School buses manufactured on or after the bill's effective date and purchased by school districts or contracted school bus companies must be equipped with lap belts or federally approved restraint systems (49 CFR 571.222).

Requires a sufficient number of restraint systems so each passenger can use a separate belt or restraint system.

Maintains existing requirement that school bus drivers use retractable lap belt assemblies.

Takes effect January 1, 2019.
