New Illinois legislation signed Wednesday increases fines for parents not securing children eight years and younger in proper child safety seats.
Gov. Pat Quinn signed a new law which would increase the fine from $50 to $75 for not properly securing children eight and younger. Future offenses would carry a $200 fine, up from a $100 fine.
First-time offenders would be able to complete a course on proper installation and use of child safety seats and could be able to get their fine waived.
In Illinois, children eight years and younger must be secured in a child safety seat. Children ages eight to 16 must be buckled in while traveling in a vehicle.
