BILL NUMBER:S4620
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing a credit for the installation of a seat belt violation alert system
Purpose
A tax payer shall receive a tax credit amounting to 50% of the installation of a seat belt violation alert system not to exceed $250. A seat belt violation warning system is a device which features an indicator on the outside of the vehicle which can alert officers to someone not properly buckled in the vehicle.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill would provide a tax credit for the installation of a seat belt violation alert system credit amounting to 501 of the installation of a seat belt violation alert system not to exceed $250.
Justification
While mandatory seat belt laws have increased the use of seat belts and allowed officers to crack down on violators, it is still very difficult to tell if a person is wearing their seat belt or not. This would provide a tax credit for people to install such devices on their car in the hope this will increase seat belt usage.
