        Removes provisions requiring a person to secure a child under the      
   age of 6 in the back seat of a vehicle if the vehicle has a  passenger      
   side  airbag.    Further  amends the Child Passenger Protection Act to      
   provide that every person transporting a child 4 years of age or older      
   but under the age of 12  (instead  of  6)  shall  be  responsible  for      
   securing  the  child  in  a  child  restraint  system  or  seat belts.      
   Provides that every person transporting  a child under the age  of  12      
   years  shall be responsible for securing the child in the back seat of      
   a vehicle if the vehicle has a back seat.  Provides that a child under      
   the age of 12 years may be placed in the front seat only  if  children      
   younger  than  this  child  are  occupying the back seats.  Amends the      
   Illinois Vehicle Code to reflect these changes.                             
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (DOT)
