R University Daily Kansan Campus/Area Thursday, Feb. 13, 1986 Law may force buckling up By Mark Siebert Staff writer Wearing a seat belt while driving on a Kansas road or highway may soon be more than just an extra safety precaution. A mandatory seat-belt law now being discussed in the Kansas Legislature would impose a $25 fine on people not wearing a safety belt while in the front seat of a moving vehicle. The Senate Transportation and Utilities Committee heard from supporters of the bill yesterday and is scheduled to listen to opponents today. State Sen. Bill Morris, R-Wichita, committee chairman, said he thought the bill would be passed by the committee when final action was taken, possibly next week. "I don't know what anybody else can do up here that can save as many lives," Morris said. Although law enforcement officials said the proposal would be difficult to enforce, they said a seatbelt law would start good habits. The bill then would go before the full Senate for debate. Col. Robert Cantwell of the Kansas Highway Patrol said people who had been stopped by police might quickly put their seat belt on or argue that they unfastened it to get their driver's license. Morris said no citation could be issued for a seatbelt violation unless a person had been stopped for another reason. The violation would not appear on a driver's record. The proposed law would require front-seat passengers in a car to have a seat belt fastened around their body while the car is in motion. The law excludes motorcycles, cars designed for more than 10 passengers, trailers or vehicles constructed on a truck chassis. Pickup trucks are covered by the law, but most vans are excluded because they are built on a truck chassis. "We hope to bring that up much, much higher," Kemp said. Morris said several amendments were made to the original bill, including exemptions for passengers in the back seats of taxis, rural mail carriers and people who deliver newspapers from their vehicles. John Kemp, Kansas secretary of transportation, said only 10-15 percent of the people in Kansas wore their seat belts. The Kansas Department of Transportation predicted that if 30 percent of Kansans would wear their seat belts, the number of fatalities would decrease annually by 40. Senate approves seizing property of drug dealers The Associated Press TOPEKA — The Kansas Senate yesterday passed and sent the House a bill authorizing the state to take possession of homes used by convicted drug dealers in their trafficking.
