Hey, CA Guy, what about States' rights? The main problem here is that the proposed legislation is Federal. If any State (or all States) wish to impose seatbelt laws, they may do (and have done) so; the Feds, however, do not have the Constitutional authority to do this.

I think we can exclude any state who did not take any Federal funds for highways.

Oh wait, there isn't any state that didn't take federal funds.

Sorry, the laws will be allowed and are needed.
