The poverty guidelines are the other version of the federal poverty measure. They, too, are issued every year, generally in the winter, but by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in the Federal Register. The guidelines are a simplification of the poverty thresholds created for administrative use, such as determining financial eligibility for certain federal programs.
Seatbelts had to be installed into vehicles as of January 1, 1968 due to a federal law. As for using them, New York was the first state to pass a law which required vehicle o â¦ ccupants to wear seat belts, which went into effect on December 1, 1984.
It was 25 years ago (the 1990 model year) when shoulder belts became required in the rear passenger seats of new cars, which provided much better safety for older children who were suffering from âseatbelt syndromeâ as a result of being restrained in a lap belt alone.
