In New York, where seat belt use became mandatory January 1, 1985, seat belt use rates increased from 16% before the law to 57% 4 months after the law; fatalities decreased 19%, despite a modest increase in mileage driven (4).
At least one bill making seat belt use mandatory was introduced in all but two (Idaho and Nevada) of the 49 states with 1985 sessions. CDC has monitored these legislative activities using reports provided by the Commerce Clearing House, Inc. (Chicago, Illinois).
