HB 32 updates Alabama's child passenger safety laws by revising the age and weight requirements for car seats and boosters. It requires rear-facing seats until age 2 or 35 pounds (up from 1 year/20 pounds), forward-facing seats until age 5 or 65 pounds (up from 5 years/40 pounds), and adds specific fit criteria for booster seats (e.g., seatbelt position across shoulder/upper thighs). Violations carry escalating fines ($25-$150) with $15 of each fine funding vouchers for low-income families to purchase appropriate restraints. The bill also adds 1 point for first violations and 2 points for repeat offenses to driver records under state law enforcement. These changes aim to align with current safety guidelines while increasing enforcement for child passenger protection.
