AN ACT relating to participants in the legal system.

Summary

The act updates vehicle definitions, requires children to be secured in appropriate car seats or booster seats, and makes failure to do so inadmissible as negligence in civil cases. It also prevents seat‑belt violations from being used as evidence of negligence, requires seat‑belt use in newer vehicles (with medical exemptions), and adds many new insurer misconducts to the list of unfair claims practices. The changes impact drivers, passengers, children, insurers, and the courts.
