                               RESOLUTION


 
  Relating to State actions to protect children from injury in motor 
                           vehicle accidents.

    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
each of the several States should take such action as may be necessary 
or appropriate to require by law that--
            (1) while a motor vehicle is in operation--
                    (A) any child who has not attained 4 years of age 
                must be secured in a federally-approved child safety 
                seat that is appropriately attached to the vehicle, and
                    (B) any child who has attained 4 years of age but 
                not 17 years of age must be properly restrained, 
                regardless whether occupying a front or back seat;
            (2) the operator of a motor vehicle (regardless of the 
        State of residency of the operator) has a legal duty to ensure 
        that the requirements referred to in paragraph (1) are complied 
        with; and
            (3) the failure of an individual to comply with the duty 
        referred to in paragraph (2) constitutes a moving violation 
        under such law.

                                 <all>
