What year was it made a law to wear your seatbelt?

in Connecticut?


    




know-it-all
I assumed it was the same everywhere - 1984.

Connecticut first enacted a law related to seat belts in 1961 (CGS §14-100a), requiring new cars to be equipped with “anchorage units. ” In 1963, this was changed so that new cars had to come equipped with seat belts. Wearing seat belts was first made mandatory in 1985, with the passage of PA 85-429 (CGS §14-100a (c)(1)). It requires anyone in the front seat of a motor vehicle that was originally equipped with seat belts to wear them when the vehicle is being operated. It also requires that the driver ensure children between the ages of four and 16 years old wear a seat belt no matter where they sit in the car.

In 1993, PA 93-10 amended the law by removing the exemption from the requirement that passengers in the front seat wear seat belts if their car is equipped with front airbags. In 1994, PA 94-52 added a requirement that all children between the ages of four and 16 must wear a seat belt, regardless of where they sit in the car.
