BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s House has rebuffed another attempt at changing the state’s seat belt law. The House voted 49-45-to kill the proposal to allow police to pull over drivers if they see them not wearing seat belts. North Dakota’s current law says drivers and front-seat passengers have to wear seat belts. But a driver can’t be ticketed for it unless he or she is pulled over for another traffic violation first. Thirty-four states already have a so-called primary enforcement seat belt law. Police may not pull over motorists in North Dakota simply because they aren’t belted.
