Primary Seat Belt Law

We've been called into session at 8:00p.m. this evening to debate the primary seat belt law. Those opposed to the bill seem to be very excited. I would expect some interesting amendments to be offered. I'll keep the updates going as the night goes on. http://www.house.mo.gov/bills071/bills/hb90.htm

9:15 First hour has been spent discussing racial profiling. A member of the black caucus has told me the members are divided on the bill.

10:15 We were still debating the first amendment to the bill and racial profiling when the majority floor leader took back the floor and the bill was put on the informal calender. This means the bill can be taken up again at a later date.
