LEGISLATURE Oregon Senate kills Bates' bill requiring seatbelts for all passengers Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 30, 2015 at 2:00 AM By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 30, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News SALEM — The Oregon Senate voted Wednesday to kill a bill that would have made it illegal to sit on the floor or on someone's lap in a moving vehicle. In a voice vote Wednesday, senators sent the bill to a committee where it's barred by Senate rules from moving forward. The move came after legislative leaders determined the bill didn't have enough support to pass. Current law in Oregon allows vehicle passengers to forgo seatbelts if all of them are being used. Democratic Sen. Alan Bates of Medford has said he brought the bill because two children sitting in the back of a sport-utility vehicle were killed five years ago when the driver lost control. Bates says the children were ejected from the car because they weren't wearing seatbelts.
