Creation of the United States laws is a very intense process. The law begins as an idea that has been brought to attention. The idea then has to be sponsor as a bill, and assigned to a committee for studying. If the bill has been released it will be added to the calendar to be voted on. If the bill passes by the majority votes it will then be passed to the Senate. The bill then will be passed by both committee’s and then will be released to the House and Senate again for final approval. After that process has been completed then it will go to the President where he has ten days to either sign or veto the bill. There is also the common law, had …show more content…
In my research, I found that The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration argued that seat belts were not the most effective way to protect passengers on school buses. Instead the big yellow buses employ something called compartmentalization. Do you remember the school buses from 15 years ago? Remember how those rigid brown seats were wedged closer together than a bundle of bananas? That 's compartmentalization. Sitting in "strong, closely-spaced seats that have energy-absorbing high seat backs," passengers are effectively protected from crashes. Of course, the method can 't prevent all injuries, but the NHTSA argues it 's the best possible solution. Several studies have shown seat belts would provide "little, if any, added protection." …show more content…
But they do contend that seat belts are affordable, even for cash-strapped school districts and that the only exception to that rule is that school districts are permitted but NOT MANDATED to add seat belts to the school buses, but they are mandated to make sure the seat belts are used properly during any drivers training instruction. However any child that is out of lecent or is disable the school will use a harness. As for regular buses and subways The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated it wouldn’t make any difference if a seatbelt was being used mainly because of the length of time a person would be wearing it for the short periods of transportation time stopping and going, it wouldn’t serve any protective purpose. As for compartmentalization if I’m on a regular crowded public bus, a common law states I don’t have to wear a seat belt, but if I’m flying in a tight seat or wedged between two large people on an airplane, I am mandated by laws enacted in legislation, to buckle my seat belt when the plane is taking off or landing, otherwise I am not allowed to fly. However I think that is nonsense because if you’re sitting between two people you’re already snuggled in where you’re not going to go anywhere while it’s taking off or landing. I think there are more rules on an air plane when
