About BeltLaws

BeltLaws helps drivers, cross-state travelers, and new drivers answer one question fast: what are the seat belt rules in this state? We turn the 50 states’ seat belt statutes into a simple checker and plain-English reference tables.

Every state page lists the enforcement type (primary or secondary), whether the rear seat is covered, and the typical fine.

We are a reference, not a legal authority. Laws change — always confirm the current rule with your state DMV.
