COLUMBUS — Just hours after a fatal school bus crash near Zanesville on Wednesday morning, a state legislative committee unanimously approved legislation requiring seat belts on all new and refurbished school buses.
One committee member said the tragedy expedited the vote. The legislation may be considered in the Ohio House today, and would then need Senate approval.
State Rep. Kathleen Chandler, D-Kent, said the mood in the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee was somber after word of the rollover crash on Ohio 60 north of Zanesville, which killed 6-year-old Kasey King and injured the bus driver and six other students.
