Title: Motor vehicles, child passenger restraints, penalties for violations, portion of penalty distributed for vouchers for limited income families, distributed for administration to Health Department in lieu of Head Injury Foundaion, Sec. 32-5-222 am'd.
Description: Under existing law, every person transporting a child in a motor vehicle operated on the roadways, streets, or highways of this state must use an aftermarket or integrated child passenger restraint system meeting applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards and certain requirements under state law. A person who violates this provision may be fined $25 for each offense.
Fifteen dollars of a fine imposed for violation of this provision is used to distribute vouchers for size appropriate child passenger restraint systems to limited income families in the state. The Alabama Head Injury Foundation administers this program.
This bill would provide that the program would be administered by the Department of Public Health and would delete certain provisions relating to audit by the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts which are no longer needed because the Department of Public Health is already audited.
