A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD URGING THAT THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE

USE OF SEAT BELTS IN SCHOOL BUSES AND BUSES HIRED
TO TRANSPORT STUDENTS
WHEREAS, the State Legislature has recently enacted legis-

accidents; and
WHEREAS, there is no State or Federal regulation requiring
the installation and use of seat belts in buses which transport
school students; and

tory use of seat belts in said buses would serve to decrease
the chance of death or serious injury to a student traveling
in a school bus or a bus hired to transport students which is
involved in a traffic accident.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rosemead,
resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. That the City of Rosemead vigorously support
the enactment of State Legislation requiring the installation
and mandatory use of seat belts in all school buses and buses
hired to transport students.

to transmit copies of this Resolution to the Governor of the
