Texas house wants to require seat belts on school buses

May 1, 2007
Law would require lap-shoulder restraints on new buses by 2010.

As survivors of a deadly school bus crash applauded from the gallery, the Texas House of Representatives gave tentative approval to a requirement that new school buses be equipped with lap-shoulder seatbelts by 2010, but only if lawmakers find money to pay for it.
