It's happening all over the country, all of a sudden. No doubt a result of ObamaCare and the push to cut costs at the expense of individual freedom and choice.
Right now 18 States are hold-outs. Seat Belt non-usage is considered a misdemeanor punishable only by a small fine. But the Transportation Committee is making a concerted effort to get all 50 states to support full criminalization.
And in case you thought nobody goes to jail for not wearing a seat belt, check out this Q&A. Even though it may be a misdemeanor, if you fail to show up for your court appearance, or protest the law through civil disobedience, you can go to jail, in some states for up to 6 months.

And yet they encourage you to go out in this dangerous world without a gunbelt??
Enough of this Nanny state CRAP!!!! Back in the 80s there were no seat belt laws. The way people were encouraged to wear seat belts was that some auto insurance companies put a stipulation in their policies that they would NOT pay any of the policy holder's damages if they were in an accident and not wearing a seat belt. So you had an accident and didn't wear a seat belt, they'd pay for the other driver, but not for you, regardless of who was at fault. People started wearing seat belts. Before long I felt funny if I was driving without a seat belt.
All done through private means, with no government action needed.
Just another way to collect money..Federal govt - mob
Will the Committee force motor cycle riders to use seat belts?.
