Some costs of Idaho’s seat belt law…
Idaho also is losing out on $4.5 million in one-time funds available for highway safety because lawmakers have refused to stiffen the state's seat belt law, lawmakers were just informed; another $5 million to $6 million because the state hasn't attained 85 percent seat belt use; another $1 million for not having a primary-offense seat belt law; and $250,000 for not eliminated the nursing-baby exemption from the state's child safety seat law. That money would have come in this year, and would have been for highway safety improvement.
