If this belongs in the media section, I'm sorry.
In the paper this morning there was a bit about a proposed new law in VA, to require boosters to age 8.
It passed the Senate, has to go through the House of Delagates.
The article contained to quotes from two republican state senators.
I say we write him a few letters explaining WHY this isn't a "nanny state over-the-top" thing. Of course parents LOVE their children, but most still take their children out of seats before they meet actually fit adult seat belts.
Watkins is the sponser of the bill. I'd say Senator Watkins has it correct.
Also from the article:
So, what do we do to try to make sure it passes when it gets to the House of Delagates? It says it faces opposition, we need this law passed. So, my car-seat.org cohorts, let's get moving and figure out who to bother to get it done!

"This is not nanny state," said Sen. John Watkins, R-Powhatan. "This is child protection."

The bill is expected to face opposition in the House of Delegates later this month.
