Motor vehicles; modifying requirements related to safety belts. Emergency.

SB 117 amends Oklahoma's safety belt law (47 O.S. §12-417) to require all passengers under 16 years old in the back seat of a passenger vehicle to wear a seatbelt, unless using a child restraint. It clarifies that "passenger vehicle" excludes trucks, farm vehicles, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. The bill adds a medical exemption process requiring physician documentation, caps fines for violations at $20, and prohibits points on driver’s licenses for non-compliance. Municipalities may enforce similar rules but cannot impose stricter penalties than the state law.
