- Thank you. I respectfully request my colleagues reject this legislation, and not put this burden on the citizens of Michigan. That’s not going to prove any difference from what we are already doing. Senator Outman’s statement is as follows: Madam President, I oppose these bills because the slippery slope of car-seat regulations is getting dangerously close to requiring me to be in a booster seat. Senator Klinefelt asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal. The motion prevailed. Senator Klinefelt’s statement is as follows: I rise in support of this legislation because it is about protecting kids and saving lives. These bills update Michigan’s safety standards for kids car seats and booster seats to meet federal and industry standards. Specifically, this legislation will ensure that our state law incorporates weight and height as relevant factors for determining the appropriate car seats and booster seats for our children to better ensure they stay safe in the unfortunate event of a car accident. Michigan’s child restraint safety standards have not been updated since 2009 and this update will align Michigan law with federal law.
