Require Seat Belts on School Buses.

Summary

The bill adds a seat‑belt requirement to North Carolina’s school‑bus rules, mandating that any bus bought, leased, or rented by public school districts, private schools, charter schools, regional schools, or boards of trustees be equipped with type‑two seat‑belt assemblies at all designated seating positions. Limited exceptions are allowed for integrated child‑safety restraints, students with disabilities, or other federally approved restraint systems. The goal is to increase safety for students riding school‑transport vehicles.
