Kansas legislator proposes law to require seat belts on school buses

TOPEKA, Kan. - With less than a week before the 2016 Kansas legislative session officially begins, a state representative has pre-filed a bill designed to help protect children who ride the school bus to and from school everyday.

Rep. Susie Swanson is proposing that schools buying new buses would have to purchase ones with seat belts.

“There are concerns and if there are concerns then I think it is appropriate for me as a legislator to bring those concerns forward,” Swanson told 41 Action News in a phone interview.
