Repeals law providing that violation of rear seat belt law be treated as secondary offense; establishes certain reporting requirements; requires AG to issue report.

S 1970 changes New Jersey's rear seat belt law by making failure to wear a seatbelt a primary offense (allowing police to stop vehicles solely for this violation), repealing the current secondary offense rule. It directly affects all rear seat passengers in vehicles and requires law enforcement agencies to report traffic stop data related to rear seat belt violations to the Attorney General one year after the law takes effect. The Attorney General must analyze this data against prior years to assess impacts on enforcement practices and submit findings to the legislature within six months. Additionally, the bill mandates that implementation data be included in New Jersey's annual Highway Safety Plan submitted to federal agencies, focusing on crash injury and fatality trends.
