An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in other required equipment, further providing for restraint systems.

Pennsylvania Senate Bill 1427 removes a specific legal protection from the state's vehicle code that previously prevented seat belt and child restraint violations from being used as evidence in civil lawsuits. The bill deletes the provision that barred juries from considering failure to use safety restraints as contributory negligence or admissible evidence in personal injury trials. This change directly affects individuals involved in civil litigation, allowing courts to potentially factor in whether a victim was wearing a seat belt or using a child restraint system when determining liability.
