MODERATE
This bill update adds a new sponsor, Webster, and formally records that the bill was amended on July 7, 2025. The most significant change is the addition of a new Section 2, which establishes specific fine amounts ($75 for unsecured children and $10 for other violations) and mandates that these fines be transferred to the Child Passenger Restraint Fund. It also clarifies that violations are not moving violations and limits the number of times a minor can be charged for multiple unsecured passengers at the same time.

The bill's scope now explicitly includes new enforcement mechanisms and penalty structures that were not detailed in the previous version.
