Change provisions relating to admissibility of evidence of use of an occupant protection system or a three-point safety belt system

Summary

The bill makes evidence that a person was not wearing a seat belt or other occupant protection system inadmissible when determining liability or proximate cause in civil cases. It may still be used to discuss mitigation of damages, but any reduction in recovery is capped at five percent. The measure was indefinitely postponed and did not become law.
