New York Gov. Mario M. Cuomo, citing a UCLA study that said seat belts provide substantial protection to school bus passengers, approved a law requiring that large school buses be equipped with seat belts, making New York the first state to enact such a measure. Seat belts will be mandatory in all school buses manufactured for use in the state after July 1, 1987. Additional padding on seat backs and seat tops also will be required, but it will be up to school boards around the state to decide whether the belts must be used.
